The History Channel runs a series called "Modern Marvels" - the program
called "Autobahn" which will be on again this evening (Fri) at 7PM Eastern
time.
The opening has a RUF Porsche 911 going to the limit - evidently German
tuners must certify the top speed advertised will actually be met.
Hmm.. where do I apply? ;-)
They also have video of a SL flipping over several times from high speed.
When the Mercedes stopped rolling the occupants crawled out and staggered to
the nearby hill.
Anyway - they go over the history and construction of the highway as well as
the controls in place and police coverage. BTW, tickets are based on the
drivers income. (So, I guess poor people can drive really fast and pay
really small tickets?) ;-p
It's a program well worth watching -- IMO at least.
