Crazy or Talented?

Stopping distance 180-0 1600' if something pulled out on you 3 football fields away and you decided to stop 1sec to react 7secs  of braking you would still be doing over 60mph at point of impact. (Sourced from Internet)

Last year on they way back from Basel to our hotel just south of Baden-Baden the best we managed 176Mph, and 42 miles in 18mins (Garmin GPS speed, however the speedo in the car was cock-on) at 1am, basically to finally try and max out my (at the time) de-restricted E39 M5.  It still had theoretically another 10Mph left, and felt it had much more,  however I did not have enough road or balls left to carry on.  We passed the sign for our junction 1km away, by the time that had registered in my brain and braked, we only just made the ausfarht.  That car had a brembo brake upgrade with 6 piston calipers too.   I wasn't exactly emergency braking granted, but it was hard enough to make the front end bog down and squirm a bit.

The autobahn in the area is unlit, it's a dual carriageway and is not as straight as you think!  A few lorries but for the most part, empty at that time of day.

Anyway the point is, 1km sounds a long way.   At 180Mph, that's a mile every 20 seconds, or a half in 10.   Try that in the dark. 

I used to love speed, but I love life (and my license) more, so I sold it.    I was not braking the law as it was stretch of autobahn with no limit, but I know I was exceeding my limits. 

The guys in this video are crazy, and they give the authorities who view it a box full of ammunition to justify more and more "road safety initiatives"
