Wow, that Jag actually signaled and moved to the right... that CAN'T be in the USA...

If it were in the US, the Jag driver (or whoever) would've stayed in the fast lane just to teach the bike a lesson...sheesh..

When he caught that 1st car I think the car was doing maybe 100 or so. The autobaun most likely was the location where you vilt be get killed if you don't keep right!

as horribly dangerous as thoose types of vids are.........I love them. I also really like the wangan vids with Smokey Nagata. One of the recent Super street mags came with an option DVD. On it there was a clip of RE Amemiya with an Rx-8 on the wangan. It was pretty cool but they scrambled the speed. He was going pretty damn fast.

Too fast for my blood! But I did like how he used his turn signal as he sped past other traffic...that way they know not to change lanes and kill him--seriously, that is a great idea. I feel that most traffic doesn't communicate as much as they should...

I agree. I get so angry when two cars in front of you sit side by side doing 5 under or something and not one of them will move! I remember once when my family was in Europe we were driving down some road in Italy and were cruising in the left lane and a Ferrari came up behind us and started shouting and flicking us off for being there, (the right lane was completly empty) so we moved over. Too bad few people in the U.S. like to be courteous drivers.

I'll see your 0-183 in 28secs, and raise you a 0-160+ in 37 seconds...in 5th gear (1:17 into the clip)
