Great story !! (I was happy while doing 200 km/h this week with my Golf on the Autobahn:doh: )

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. What a load of rubbish.

You know things do not go blurry at that speed, dotted lines remain dotted. Try looking out of a high speed train sometime, if you don't believe me, where the driver should be looking everything is crystal clear and distinct.

As for 'wheel writhing", well words fail me!

Please, whatever you do, don't grip the wheel tightly, learn to sit with a totally relaxed posture, you only need your finger tips to steer, gripping the wheel tightly can only have an adverse effect on how smoothly you drive and makes it more likely that you will jerk the wheel in the event of having to react suddenly.

As is so often the case, its over written and all about the journalist as driving hero......


This sort of writing gives reportage a bad name. I am always amazed that manufacturers and the owners of really fast cars allow 'the denizens of the street of shame' behind the wheel of their cars. Very very few of them have the skills of a Paul Frere or a Jenks.

Please, I go 250+ mph every night on GT4!:D

Nice to know that stuff doesn't happen at 200 mph. The most I've been blessed to do in the real world on the autobahn was an indicated 276kph (@171mph) in a RS 6. I must admit it was completely drama free. After having read all the mag articles on traveling at high speed I thought it would be "harder", more dangerous feeling. But no, the car just kept pulling and pulling until the speed limiter finally kicked in. The mags all tell how you'll be sweating bullets and the like but it's not like that at all.

Now when I read this stuff, I think "if the dude CAN'T do 200 in a Carrera GT than he's a straight WOOSY.

One of these trips, I'll rent something capable of those speeds and experience the other side of 200 for myself.

Ben:addict: (and Paul Frere is the man).
