I like the part when they go speeding past the Police car, other than that, it was a pretty boring video. Fast cars none the less.

I don't get it. That road looks like a pita just like our roads. SUVs, vans and 18 wheelers everywhere. I don't like traveling high speeds among them. I am always concerned some dumb *** will pull into my lane. I trust my car and myself but not the other guy.

Germany ain't Jersey. Not that it never happens, but German police enforce lane discipline much more than in the US.

Tried in vane to get a 9ff rear wing and having seen this video I am glad. Looked like it was about to part from the car!!
Very weak looking by all accounts.

The wing looked very weak, not much downforce there. I wonder how much flex in +200 mph.
