Only an idiot would endanger lives by doing something that stupid. I seen this type of stuff all too much. Eventhough it was done on the hiway, it only takes someone not to see him and pull out into his path. I've seen people lose control of their cars to dodge something on the road. Sure feel sorry for innocent people getting caught up in someones stupid actions.

Waay fast. Cool!

Amazing how some just assume what's legal on the autobahn is somehow "dangerous" and the driver an "idiot".

Slower traffic obligated to stay right and the Germans will enforce that rule strictly.

It's hard to see, but it had a personal plate that read "Spaceball One" cause I think it just went to plaid.

He's going above 190MPH actually. That video was originally labeled C6Z06 200MPH Fly-by. It's a pretty old video actually. I believe that he was going around 196 if my memory serves me right. But I can say for sure it was 190+.

Compare that video to some of the other 200MPH fly-bys on Youtube. Look for the Lamborghini 200MPH fly-bys. You'll see that they're right on par.


EDIT: By the way, the driver holding the camera was going ~95MPH.
