The dash looks kinda cheesy for a Ferrari, so did the windshield wipers.

The guy filming is in a VW and the Odo is in KM/H rather than MPH. OP was asking if the car that flew by was a Ferrari or not.

Alright, watched it again. That guy flew by so fast and so close to the beginning that I missed it every time

I have no idea what that blur was.

Freeze-framing it at different points makes me think something other than a 'Vette.

I saw a yellow license plate, new car if in US.... I don't know about other countries.
The taillights look long like the IS-F, but headlights not so much.

I think it's the new Skyline

edit: Ah, I don't know any more. I watched it a few more times, it's not too much like a GT-R
again, I wanna say M3!!!

I noticed the M3 badge on the fender.

I think it is a vette based on the shape of the roof and back glass.

A lot of people on our interstates aren't aware that the left lane is intended for overtaking slower moving vehicles. And it's a crying shame.

Definitely a C6 Z06. Click on the link Jesal posted, click "watch in high quality" You can clearly see the hood scoop and amber side markers when you pause the video as the Z06 appears in the side mirror, and as it barely passes the A-pillar, you can see the trademark 4 circular tail lights and the crossing flags emblem between them.

That might have been Germany. When I was there that sort of thing happened all too often. Usually it was a MB or BMW. Not too many exotics at all.
Overtaking someone on the autobahn is nerve racking - check mirrors, turn signal, check mirrors, begin to move, check mirrors while preparing to move back and slow down quickly so you don't run into the guy you were trying to overtake, begin to pass, get your ass back over to the right.
I've done that a few times only to see high beams flashing frantically as my turn signal came on. It's nuts! Even if your speed is 80 - 90 mph, someone moving along like that is closing on you as if he was moving at 100 and you were standing still.
The wrecks, when they do happen, are not pretty.

The easy solution is for you to stop driving so slow on the autobahn. 80-90 mph???? Jeez....

Hey! I was in the Army and was in a damn VW microbus. I'm lucky I didn't get killed!

It wasn't a problem when I was driving my other vehicle. M1-A1 Abrams. We wouldn't take them on the Autobahn but would cruise through towns and such. It was a blast, especially when people pulled up too close at stop lights. The heat from the exhaust of the turbine engine would melt the paint off the hood of their cars.
