0-140mph in a BMW MZ3 Roadster

I tried out my new helmet-mounted Canon HD camera on the Autobahn here in Germany. We got almost to the M-Z3's (electronically limited) top speed before reaching a slowdown area for a construction zone. Yes, I was bumping the rev limiter in 1st and 2nd, never hit it before and thought I'd find it. :D

By the way, for those who don't know what "The Autobahn" is... it's not a special, fancy highway. All highways in Germany are Autobahns, and there are many sections with no speed limit.

I guess that is ok... I did 160 mph in my 91 Porsche 911 on I-84 east of Portland, Oregon... Don't need to go to germany to go fast

@MetalTeamster Sure, you *can* do that in the US. I wouldn't publish a video of it tho, publicly incriminating yourself ;-)

For my next convertible I'll have to get an R8 V10 and see how fast that goes.

How comes there is so many US (asthmatic) M Coupe and M Roadsters in Germany?

[one51s]

@fabts4 Maybe a lot of expats moving from US to Germany and bringing their South Carolina cars to visit opa's Heimatland...

[one51s]

@wagner03mustang Haha... yes I plan to re-do this video at some point with 3 or 4 HD cams and a fixed mic so I can actually get the engine sound. I was disappointed it was killed by the wind in this take.
