germanGT500 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Hey all! So here I am in Germany and I just took the 2014 GT500 out of storage. My other street sled in a Lexus IS F so I have to learn how to drive this beast. Im gonna hit the A3 autobahn tomorrow at sunrise. That's when it turns into a race track as all the Ferraris, GT3's etc come out to play and I'm gonna be right there with them. Going to mount the dash cam so I should be able to post some cool vids of that soon. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperNC Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Welcome and enjoy your new ride. A 200+ MPH Shelby will fit in just fine with the Autobahn crowd. Make sure you keep it pointed in the right direction as these cars are tail happy from the showroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

germanGT500 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Yeah. I think there are only 28 with this color scheme. The only one with less is red with blue stripes at 8 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1TUF14SHELBY Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Thanks for posting! My reactions are boy your car has a lot of SC whine. Any mods? Second, the AUTOBAHN looked like there was a lot more traffic than I thought there would be. Lastly, what kind of speed were you getting up to?

Second, the AUTOBAHN looked like there was a lot more traffic than I thought there would be. Lastly, what kind of speed were you getting up to? So, The autobahn is well traveled lets just say - especcially when your close to a big city. If you really want to let loose, you have to get up early Sat or Sun or German holidays and then its wide open throttle. In fact, Saturday at sunrise, a ton of maniacs with lambos, GT2/GT3's ferraris etc turn the autobahn into their own personal speedway. On this video I only got up to 145mph because of the traffic. You saw the cars in the fast lane. If you get in a wreck going faster than 130 kph (like 80mph) its almost always your fault and your screwed. I'll see if I cant post another at sunrise soon. Fastest Ive done here is 165 for 20 seconds. You can see a noticable difference on the gas guage after one or two of those runs. The only mod under the hood is the K&N and the resonator eliminator. The resonator eliminator is the reason you hear the SC. No regrets buying that ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torched10 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 You didn't.mention that at that speed in an accident your dead so who cares this fault it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germanGT500 Posted May 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 You didn't.mention that at that speed in an accident your dead so who cares this fault it is. Oh no no no. I should have said... I paid extra for the safety package. At any point of impact > 100 mph, the roof blows off and I am propelled 200 meters above the scene of the crime in 1.5 seconds at which time dual parachutes deploy and I can watch all the mayhem unfold as I peacefully descend to a soft grassy knoll next to the autobahn. Did you get that package???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billross Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Sure looks like fun! Thanks for posting. That resonator eliminator sounds great! That's on my shopping list now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torched10 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 I visited a friend in Germany a few years ago and remarked I've never seen an acccudent remnant on the side of the bahn. He said there are no remains. An accident is an explosion and there's nothing left including the people.as to the option it was too expensive and I've got more sense than money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTBICg2GQUQ To say I am jealous would be an understatement. Wish we had the ability to go like that on the USA interstates. I think there are some unlimited speed areas in Montana, but that is a LONG way from NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally got around to mounting my iphone to the windshield and making a little video just for you of a sunny day on the AUTOBAHN! Cheers! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTBICg2GQUQ Gotta love the German drivers, at about 1:30 in the video cars moves over. Here in the US, the guy would've slowed down, and driven 100 miles in the left lane with his left turn signal on...then at about the 1:50 mark, the driver is about to go into the left lane, and see you coming like a freight train, and stays put. Here, again, clueless driver would just jump into the left lane, forcing you onto your binders big time...soon to be followed up by the ever popular "Scheiße" the AUTOBAHN looked like there was a lot more traffic than I thought there would be. Lets see, 81 million people in a country that is about the size of Montana....add to that, it is smack in the middle of Europe, so anyone, going anywhere from any other country is on the Autobahn. Once the wall came down, the congestion on the roads grew exponentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
