Default Reckless 996 GT3 highway video

Reckless driving stunt, video I saw of a 996 trying to keep up with a motorcycle on a highway. I can't tell the language, I think it's in Brazil.

At least it's nice to see slow cars moving out of the left lane to let faster traffic by...

Anyone who's ridden on a motorcycle can tell you that there are few things scarier than having a car tailgating you. Guy's a complete **** to get so close to the two riders 0:35 in, let alone everything else. Oh well, still fun to watch.

edit: Oh good, he almost clipped that rider as he slid. I give up on this guy. I'm sure we've all gone fairly quick on the highway, I just hope none of us are doing things like this.

Reminds me of being on the autobahn at ~125mph and being passed by DONOR-cycles as if I was standing still.

i've been riding for 35 yrs. & racing cars for 10, IMO, reckless, suicidal, moronic & total disregard for other people's life, and here i thought i was crazy, well.......
i would not want to be anywhere near those guys on track or streets because when they go , they'll be taking someone else with them & it wont be pretty!

Wow - that was just plain nuts.

I've gone fast on the highway - but only on open stretches and never go blasting by other cars in the next lane.

They almost lost it and took a motorcycle with them, then laugh about it and accelerate again.

Just pathetic.

I wonder if the GT3 had a clear bra?

I've been in Brazil, the standards on what is considered safe vary greatly from a mostly US perspective in this forum. Italy is a bit aggressive, but anything goes in Sao Paulo.

I agree, drivers in Italy are aggressive; however, you wouldn't be able to post the insane speeds the in the video, the highways in Italy are now covered with photo radar.
