Ruf on the autobahn, sunday afternoon at 203mph
A very good friend of mine came to stay for the weekend. And we took the CTR out for a blast on sunday afternoon.

The film is really outlining how you can making progress on the bahn. One part shows us going through a series of corners at 160mph+ and i have to say the car felt absolutely. Incredible for a 20year thing....Unfortunetly we didt capture one bit where we actually caught a 996C2 "dawdling" in the outside lane of the clear bahn at 160mph. We came up on him at 190mph and flashed the brights to move him over!

Unfortunately youtube has the innate ability to pixellated speedos and their speeds. However at the end we hit 203mph on the GPS.

best,
adam

Well, it used to be the fastest car in the World...

Amazing it's still possible to use it every day.

Nice Video... I wish we have (here in the US) at least 1 day per month where there are no speed limits.. Sky is the limit...
