Front stretch of the Nuringburg Ring, just before coming off the track. And back into parking.

We were doing 300kph, + a little (about 190 mph) in a 2003 Carrera GT3. Some guy from Austria offered me a ride after I was drooling all over his car.

I guess he had been driving the 'Ring for 15+ years. He certainly knew what he was doing. I've never felt more comfortable on that road in a car. That car was amazing and the guy that was driving it was unbelievable.

155mph+ in my 02' WRX (cobb Accessport stg. 2.5, + extra's) Could of kept going but the wind from my mirrors told me otherwise.... Didn't think i was going that fast until i looked at the speedometer and was like ohh ****... That was during a race with an srt-4. with the s2k like 125mph soo far... probably won't take her all the way up, until i am more comfortable with the car.
