Default Buzzed by a 992

On the way to Hannover, our bus was buzzed by a 992. Sorry, but there was zero chance of a photo as the driver took full advantage of the autobahn!

Nice. Reminds me of being buzzed by a 959 in the summer of '86 on the autobahn between Stuttgart and Munich. I too had no chance of a picture.

This thread had so much potential.

I have driven on the autobahn numerous times and always in a rented Audi - so in the fast lane. This is the first time I am on a slow bus here, so seeing a line of Audi’s and Mercedes flying by is crazy fun to watch.

The 992 was black with the wing up. I didn’t get a front end view, but was looking down on the hood and top of the car as it screamed by.

Was it fully camouflaged? Any impressions of it? How did it sound?

No camo that I could see. It sounded like my car wound up, quite good. To a 991.1 owner, it would have sounded like a vacuum cleaner.

If Dan says he saw it, that's good enough for me!

We will just have to look elsewhere for more up to date photos...

Shhhhh! Don't feed the trolls!

I am sure it seemed rather fast, though...

Thanks bud!

See the link above - they are running them now without camo. I just found that link on the 992 thread. Lol - nice to be validated!

The bus is nearly at the hotel - bye all.

Camo on the edges of the taillights and below the light bar yet...although I am sure the un-camoed version will look great. And a lot like the 991 LOL to the masses.
