Some pics I took of the MID on the autobahn. Just note the distance traveled and mpg adn time it took on the autobahn. Funny. There are speed zones though so you cant just go all out forever. Also there are speed limits when you are not on the autobahn, check out my mpg when I was driving normal speeds.

 

damn! a TL-S on the autobahn must look real good. i mean really good. i'm jealous.

 

Yeah its great. Even better because Germans have never seen a TL before so it breaks necks everywhere I go. Plus since they have no clue what it is so many people want to race me. My biggest vistory so far is a new 335i coupe. Didnt know if I could beat it since it has that new 300hp 300tq twin turbo but sure enough took it out.

 

Dude I've been waiting for you to post stuff of ur tl-s... I want to see them vids

Ps. Good luck in iraq

those are all I got up for now. I did take those vids of some real tight handling roads in germany going real fast ad also a 0-100 fly by but they are on a dvd disck and I have to figure out how to get them off. Taken witha sony camera borrowed from my friend... She said something abut having to finalize the disc first.. I dont know. I will try to figure it out.

Thanks

 

you took out a 335i? I find that very hard to believe, those cars are FAST

 

did u have ur inspyres on or stock?

 

 

That 335i must have needed a driver transplant.

Nice pics, they demonstrate how low mileage is at high speed. I miss Germany (went to high school there, was a great experience).

In any case, thank you for your service and come back from Iraq in one piece, please. We need you alive to mod your TL-S up!

 

Very impressive!

 

Awesome thanks for sharing that.......I can only dream of going that fast here in Jersey........trust me I tried.......

Best of luck over seas, return safely.....especially driving at those speeds.......lol

 

Yes. I was on the bahn on the way to berlin with one of my troopers in my car to run a half marathon. We were doing a comfy 90 when a 335ci ran by (forgot the c to denote that it was a coupe) doing a good bit faster, maybe 100-105mph. So I dropped it to fourth and caught up. He immediately punched it (I assume) and we had about a 20 foot gap and he wasnt pulling away and I was gaining on him. By the time I got to 120 and shifted to 5th gear I started gaining on him, by the time I got to 140 I was right behind him, he got out of my way and I passed him (slowly) and when I did I glanced over and it was a little overweight older german fella and he gave me a smile and a thumbs up. Got to 150 and he was maybe 2 car lengths behind me.

19's

 

Forogt to mention that I raced one another time. Was going out the gate where I was stationed in Germany and there was a chick driving one and there is a good bt of straightaway out of the gate. It squated down and took off, I was already in second just in case that happened, we got up to 100 before she let off and she didnt pull but I couldnt catch up. So my summary is that the 335i is no punk, you need to have a modded TL-S to even mess with one or you will get blown away but it runs out of steam a little around 135mph.

 

That 1st pic is a riot. Avg Speed 150, MPG 9.

 

in Germany TL's must be considered the 'hot imports' hehe, must be cool to be one of very few out there and whooping other fast cars on the autobahn ^_^

 

Nice.. looks like fun

 

nice pics man....lol Was 150 the fastest you've gone, or have you gone any faster ??

 

He's gone as fast as it will go. And as far as I know, he's the only one; despite all the claims. At least he's the only one to prove it that I've seen.

One crazy white boy I tell you what, for christ sake... Tha fastest I've gone period is like 140 in my 05 350z... and that was trying to keep up with a gsxr1000... those extra 10mph takes balls

 

I got my TSX up to 134. I was so nervous! You have some BALLS dude!

 

A 335i is a faster car than a TL-S.

The difference isn't huge, but it's quantifiable.

I'd have beaten you had I been behind the wheel of the 335i.

The only way you may have beaten the 335i is if you went faster than 144 MPH , which is that car's governed top speed.

 

Here are CAR AND DRIVER'S 335i coupe test results. Note the acceleration times, which are certainly superior to those of the TL-S. All that was holding the 335i back was its governor. An aftermarket PCM flash can remove that.

You are the man.

I noticed your gas gauge has dropped from 3/4 to less than 1/2 of the scale.

 

Now that's certainly a feeling i've never had the opportunity to experience...the feeling of lawfully hauling ass on the interstate....must be full of adrenaline. Sometimes i pretend i'm on the autobahn when i'm driving the TL.

My friend is about to trade in his s2000 for one of those 335s.

Good shit man, thanks for posting.

 

Well bro thanks for clarifying that. Just saying that with two seperate 335's one going around 30-100 (never pulled on me, I never gained, perfectly even) and one from 110 or so-150 and didnt really gain on him until 135 adn passed him slowly. So its fairly obvious that my TL-S is competant to stay with a 335 0-130ish and beat them 130-150ish. I hate crap like this. Just like that one bonehead that kept saying that there was no governer on the TL's. I prved him wrong. If only I wasn t deployed I would video me beating a 335 on the bahn.

BUT like several people have mentioned driver skill has a lot to do with it. Dont know if those come in auto or what, maybe they were auto or something.

 

damnnn it does look like fun lol
