BMW 535 is the only one that comes to mind. BY A LONG SHOT! Autobahn runs tend to leave you with a blank for the last 20K's........ See you @ 260KmH's (fastest so far/for now).

E55 AMG Kleeman
RS6
S4
997S
997TT
996TT
Mustang Cobra
Trans AM WS6
Viper
Sti (modified, pretty quick too )

The only one I could have thrown a baseball back to was the Mercedes.
The 997TT gave up in my 4th because he was 3 buses back.

Yea, but they're covered in snow and ice 9 months out of the year.

75mph limits on Interstate, 70 on 4 lanes and 65 on most others. Of course any dirt road in a field can be called a state highway out here!

Snow and ice, that's not a good combination.
