Daily driving on German Highway !

I like "No Speed Limit" , but i would like to have the prices for gasoline in USA.

In Germany 1 litre costs approx. 1.78 $ ! So i need to fill up the car 90 Dollars

Little shot from my Pocket PC at 8.30 AM.

Thats the way to my company every morning. LOL



Standard EVO without catalytic converter and BC.

I've a 5 speed EU Model EVO 8 !!

In germany we have only 5speed EVO8. In December the new EVO9 is available in Germany. It's a 6 Speed.

We have on the gas stations 100 Oktane Gas. But very hard prices and if i must see you can drive the cars sooooooo cheap i would like to have a pipeline to US.

@SlyEVO

That's sooo. We have speed limits, but only a few limits on few highways. A lot of highways have no limits. You can drive 400km/h if you have a car that runs so fast. NO PROBLEM and no tickets.

On Portions of the German Autobahns there is no speedlimit. I'm actually in Germany on business right now but my rental car sucks! It is an Opel Zafira or something like that. Something between a minivan and a stationwagon. The best it has seen is 205KPH downhill with a tailwind. Oh well, it's way better than driving in Orlando!

A Stock EVO 8 have 265 hp...

A little bit less hp because the precat and another maincat.

But i have removed on cat and exchanged the maincat with a sportscat.

I was on the dyno last week and have a little bit over 300hp (not on the wheels)

Peter

I'm every week sucked if i must drive to the gas station, but if a Porsch cross my way i was happy all time of the day
