Today I tested the VX-Stage-3-bred Turbo Speedster on the german autobahn. Very worth watching, how fast a 40k? automobile can be. After that, a comparison with the Hayabusa Turbo of a friend of mine. No chance for my very fast car. No question.
A brief comparison between Valentine One and Whistler 945 Euro radar detectors. Some say, you'll be on the safe side with a cheaper detector than the V1. You decide...
Ausschnitt aus einem Beobachtungsvideo, welches bei Kameratests Anfang 2004 auf der A10 südlich Berlins entstand. Es wurden insgesamt 22 Minuten gefilmt, in denen ein VW Golf permanent die mittlere von drei Autobahnspuren blockiert und dabei teils unschöne Situationen provoziert.

Three laps round the Eurospeedway near Dresden/Germany in an Opel Speedster Turbo, tuned to 261HP.
This was the first ride at all on this track. Knew it only from visiting the pits.
The season slowly ends. So I took another training lap on STC. This time together with a Renault Clio Williams on race slicks, hard cookie to compete with. Also on track: some friends driving Nissan 350Z and Opel Speedster Turbo Phase 2.
My best lap this time: 1:40.1
Offenbar meinen manche Verkehrsteilnehmer, dass das Rechtsfahrgebot gemäss §2 StVO hinfällig sei, sofern man nur schnell genug fahre. Hier ein besonders schönes Exemplar dieser Gattung.
This was the final session on STC for this year. This time there were two other Speedsters on track for the first time, some Miatas and - last but not least - a young rookie crashed the BMW from his girfriend in the narrow curvy infield.
My best lap time this day:
Speedster VX3 - 1:40.5
Some other lap times:
Porsche Carrera RS - 1:44
BMW M5 507HP - 1:55
Hobbyracer auf dem Track. Einige schöne Lotus Elise, Exige, Super Seven und Opel Speedster sind zu sehen. Typischer Verkehr am Trackday. Eine Menge los.
Two laps of me driving the Speedster Turbo Stage 3 on the new Spreewaldring south of Berlin, Germany.
The track was opened in summer 2007 and it was my first time testing it.
Although I'm driving with too much care, power to weight ratio beats the 500+HP car.
