Well, yes....doesn't "shock" me...but I thought it was cool enough to share.

Also to Germans sped is a whole different ballgame. You'll see cars traveling well past 160MPH over on some sections of the autobahn.Once at night in the fall got a 1987 BMW M3 up to 235KMH(146MPH) that was just an inline 4 cylinder with a few modifications even at that speed I got passed that is actually the fastest I have even driven a vehicle that I was physically driving.
It's also a BMW....BMW is allowed to go that fast casually in a road-going 4-cylinder. I'd love to have an older M3.

They produced a 4 cylinder F1 racing engine that said squeezed out 1400HP in 1986.
