That was a Ford Escort (Ford Germany),
it won´t do much more than 120mph (except it was a Cosworth or modified), but seems like that was already too much.
A way smaller sized tree destroyed my Beretta GTZ 2 years ago, but just at 50mph...I saw pics of a 850i flying of the ABahn at 150mph into a wood and desintegrated into nothing.
The biggest chunk they found was the engine block.

Advantages of driving in Germany:
1. Overall, the cars are in much better condition because of tough inspections
2. Licenses are much harder to get, with better driving training
3. The autobahn speed limit is "whatever's safe" up to 155 mph

1. Inspections are tougher, way too tough and modifying a car here is not fun. California seems fun compared to this...
3. 155mph is not the limit.
We have NO limit.
155mph is an unsolicited limit by BMW and Mercedes (even though AMG removes the limiter on request), but for example Porsche doesn´t do it and if someone ever buys a new Bugatti and wants to drive 250mph, he could do it. Whatever sense that makes.
EDIT: BTW Those plates don´t look like german plates, so if that happened in Germany the driver was probably not used to the higher speeds here. </font>[/QUOTE]a few areas DO have speed limit now, and germany recomedens 130 KPH MAX, that does not mean poeple lissen though
There are even blue signs with a recommended limit sometimes.
