Elle avait des insomnies. C’est une Porsche, vous savez. Elle ignorait qu’elle roulait si vite", a plaidé l’avocate.I don't know about quite that fast, but the basic argument holds up in my book. In some cars you can accidentally go 160 while barely even noticing.

In Belgium I assume you must notice the cars you are leaving behind, except you are alone on the road.However at speeds above 230 km/h the road starts to look more and more narrow. I tried once to hit the 300 mark but finally gave up because of that. It was a strange rotten feeling.
Re: What's Going on in Europe Reply #917 – 2017-07-20, 17:04:15 Well, actually I have no idea if it holds up for a regular Porsche as on more reflection I was thinking mostly vans or SUVs, not cars as such. But that'd be purely because I'm not used to being so high, making it feel slower.In cars without a 6th gear (or more) there's a bit of additional engine noise, but mostly it's just things like the wind affecting you more and the feeling of speed I'm referring to.

It doesn't have to be a Porsche or a Ferrari. I was referring to cars which we use to categorize as middle class (mittelklasse).
Re: What's Going on in Europe Reply #919 – 2017-07-20, 21:33:19 Right, I just mean that except for the rickety feeling in a 1980 Ford Fiesta I was talking about height more than anything. I kind of forgot about that part when I made my earlier comment.

Re: What's Going on in Europe Reply #922 – 2017-07-22, 14:51:47 As for the price, we can always steal them... it gives more adrenaline to go 300 with a stolen car The Bugatti is impressive with those 450...
