#1 "speeds from 151 to 191 kilometres (95-120 miles) per hour."

I've driven 120 on the I-5 and without a picture of the roads in question you can color me unimpressed. They should have a stretch of the race on the Autobahn and really clock up some speed.

#2 Up to 120MPH in Lamborghinis, Bentleys, Ferraris, Porsches and Maseratis?

Wusses. But then they probably couldn't floor it much past that without hitting a border station of the next little country.

#4 120? Is that all? We thought that was a normal speed on the Autobahn when I lived in Germany (boyfriend drove a stick-shift Beemer). I thought these wussies were supposed to be racing.

Typical Euros - all hat, no saddle.
