Saw a link to this vid, being hosted by another person a while ago. The guy is a bit of a nut to drive that fast, with the top down and a camera in his hand.

Hi!

In a way this quy is a bit funny, too!
He really believes he can keep up with the Carrera GTs in his Mustang.... images/smilies/rolleyes.gif images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

EDIT: I just replaced the "MfG" with a "cya". "MfG" is only a short-form of a german phrase... images/smilies/wink.gif

No, he actually says he can't in the video. He can sorta keep up with them until about 120 MPH, but after that, they waste him easily.

Hi!

Oh, it´s been a few days since I watched the video... images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Perhaps in the end he says he can´t keep up?
(I remember something like "here I come", but that´s of course only because of traffic.)
