That's 136.8 km/h. Not bad, but still below the average speed on the autobahn, which is 140 km/h. Also: Some modern cars with a very powerful engine can reach speeds of well over 300 km/h (190 mph). Most large car manufacturers, especially the German ones, follow a gentlemen's agreement by electronically limiting the top speed of their cars – with the exception of some top of the range models or engines – to 250 km/h (155 mph) for safety reasons (such as inexperienced drivers or risk of tire failure, especially when underinflated). Yet, these limiters can be deactivated, so speeds up to 300 km/h (190 mph) might arise on the German autobahn.

Bauchfleisch and Bratwurst make for better drivers than Texas BBQ? I doubt it.
You think driving prowess is directly correlated to dietary habits? Hmmm...
It's called the Coanda Effect, Tecumseh.
Powww!
Writhe/seethe, Tecs!
