alot of the german cars are most likely built with germans in mind they have roads there called autobahn,s (same as a freeway /motorway) they have no speed limits on them (they have a recomended speed limit of 130 km/h 80mph) but you can go as fast as your car and your driveing skill can handle i took my mates bmw z3 down it at 115mph felt very crazy shooting past cops at that speed :)
