re too fast in article qkon re armory centerline com jimf centerline com jim frost writes stuff about autobahn and safety of sho at speed deleted the mustang is essentially the same deal as the sho a big power the mustang is a much worse case of design irresponsibility than the sho plant stuck in a mid size sedan with almost no other modifications i have real life experience with the mustang it handles like a brick except when you re invoking oversteer of course something i its hard to predicatbaly drift a stock mustang because of the suspension personally avoid doing on the highway and stopping power is inadequate even from mph lots of accelleration but the rest of the car is not up to par yes when i think mustang i think school bus f motor in my mind the mustang should be fitted with a speed limiter at or so it just isn t safe check out your local junkyard mustangs outnumber other cars by a proportion way in excess of sales in junkyards i find it astonishing the cu or somesuchlike has not jumped on the mustang for poor brakes in relation to power ford should at least standardize on the svo rear brakes for all s i picked the porsche example because they are designed with speed in mind it didn t have to be the it could have been the much cheaper or one of several mercedes or audi models all of these cars are fairly expensive but so are the parts that make them drivable at high speed this should be elementary there are a few things to keep in mind about europe since you brought it up my autobahn knowledge is admittedly second hand but i believe the following to be true drivers are much better disciplined in europe than they are here true of northern europe latin countries are something else the roads comprising the autobahn are much better designed than kindof true remember they were build by adolf in the s they are here and usually include animal fences this makes them far more predictable than most us highways yes not all of europe is the autobahn most places in europe have autobahn is the german word for freeway other countries have different names for loose equivalents autostrada autoroute motorway etc speed limits that aren t out of line with what we used to have in the us if my friends weren t lying to me they re typically not much higher than km h europe did seem on the brink of a kmh limit it hasn t passed as far as i know typical speeds in western europe are much higher than the us law enforcement is negligible in my experience comapred to the us as there is no revenue enhancement motivation the things you really notice are the higher speed differentials and the more professional attitude to driving you just never see two cars running parallel at mph oblivious to all around them i strongly suspect you won t find a lot of rabbit owners doing mph nearly km h on the autobahn but i could be wrong some people you re wrong gti s go this fast just kind of noisy not the ideal autobahn car a lot of times you see cars being driven with the drivers foot on the floor how do i know when you re not making any ground on the identical car in front of you have no respect for their own lives if something happens at you re dead but the same goes for much over driving at high speed forces you to concentrate i feel much safer driving on the autobahn than in typical us traffic because most people seem to be awake i ve never seen any driver reading a book on an autobahn i see it all too often in the us craig it just doesn t seem fast after minutes or so of aclimation everybody drives that fast no big deal craig you certainly haven t convinced me of course not speeding is bad speeding is illegal i will not speed i love big brother you had your mind made up already if you think so you sure don t pay attention to my postings jim frost jimf centerline com
