What amazes me is how courteous, all, the drivers seem to be. They use turn signals, move over after passing, and, give adequate space to the vehicle ahead.

This is actually a good example of good fast, and safe driving. No running up someones ass to get a pass, or dangerous lane changes.

I Want the government to make an Authoban in the US.

Hey, there is a 33% chance that I built your engine cradle!

GM makes some fine sounding engines.

It must be so nice to have a highway systems that people can really use and respect. The closest thing I can think of here in the States might be the state of Montana. The only time I visited Germany, the Autobahn was gridlocked. Good video. Thanks for sharing.

My squad leader had a 2004 BMW M3,we got on the Autobahn and got to 156 mph a 911 Porsche Turbo passed us it was goldish brown. The next day saw it parked where our motor pool was i finally found the owner a prior service vet. I asked was it him he said yes,he was in a hurry he was going to the red light district in Frankfurt...how fast he was going he said bout 178 or so ..the avg speed was about 85 my Ford Explorer couldn't handle it..lol.. Germany was alot of fun you youngster join the military and see the world...

that's fucking mad, every country should have there own autobarn !!!!. fucking awesome!!

I wish we have an autobahn here in the states..

I’m watching this video in 2023. Amazing quality for a video that was uploaded 10 years ago

Love the sound of the engine. Good colour choice :-)

Nothing says "Get out of the way" better than a red Corvette going 185 MPH.

Safety drive and nice sound , colour . Loved ur drive way my dream zo6 u got .

Man, every country should have autobans.

4:04 Nice top off at 304 KM/H (185 MPH)

The funny thing is, if you look at some of the cars hes waiting to pass, they're still usually at 200-230 kph... (assuming his speedo is correct) that's still a cool 120 - 140+ mph for those of us in the states. Crazy.

I used to haul ass on the autobahn back when I was stationed there. I miss it. Nice car! I have an 01 Z06

Europe needs more V8's, I have daily driven American cars since 2009 and there is no way getting back to European cars. If the maintenance would not be so ridiculous I would get a V12 Mercedes-Benz. I miss my time living in Germany and how well folk drove on the Autobahn, here in Finland the highways are like a circus....

I really admire Germany as they let you responsibly take your vehicle to the speeds it was designed for. Great VID, thanks for turning on the heads-up display. I would love to pick some Sunday morning with nobody around to attain Vmax like Michael here!

What the hell is wrong with these morons!? They were turning into your lane as you were coming up on them at like 175 mph!

the weather helps your coolant to perform nicely ,.

I bet that baby turns a lot of heads in Germany. Probably don't see a Corvette on the Autobahn everyday.

Not with straight-line acceleration. Oil starvation occurs during long massive cornering where the most G's can be produced. Luckily and like Murray says, C6 Z06', ZR1s and the late C6 GS' have dry-sumps so they won't have this issue on the track.

What for a nice Ride! Emotions in this Car, makes you Garantie Happy! !!!!

For the metrically challenged, he's going up to about 190MPH. Veeeeery impressive!

Ive not gotten my Z06 that fast yet. Yet.

I'm a fan of Ferrari & Lamborghini,but much respect for the Z06 very good & fast car.

They also have "grown up" with the Autobahn. This has allowed people to learn how to use it. If they did allow this in The US it would take a few years & deaths before people would figure out unless you want to ROLL stay out of the left lane. But in any event you are 100% on.

Yes, they are limited. 205 mph limit, just as David says. The ZR1 definitely hits it. A strong Z06 might, usually a little short of that. Official drag-limited top speed of the Z06 is 198. The electronic limit at 205 also exists.

effortless power

Damn, from the north to the south. American HP @ the Autobahn We will kick ass

Jawohl, mein Herr! So fährt man richtig auf der Autobahn, und mit Vergnügen auch. Tolles Video.

Pretty much. It's Autobahn. No speed limit there.

great vid dude, cheers from Chicago

I hate to say it, but most of us ont his side of the pond can barely handle the 55 MPH limit. But in all seriousness, I would love to see one too!

Your Autobahn video rocks Michael! Now if I can only convince my government to build such a superhighway across the USA. . . and issue special permits and license to those that are skilled can qualify!

In the US, doesn't the speed limit apply on all lanes without exception?

The revs on the left dropping when u got closer to redline fucked with me a little bit but good video

More pushing , more cooling... Definitly made to floor it.

got sweaty palms just watching that

If only a place like this existed for us on this side of the pond.

Slow people In the fast lane? Looks like Atlanta

My vette has dry sump lubrication like race bikes. Stock dry sump lubrication.

No. His HUD speedometer is in KMH and it hits around 304. Which translates to roughly 185 MPH.

That is cuz in the Autobahn the police there will issue tickets for going too slow and not getting out of the way.

Wasn't that civilized & fun?

hey he is actually driving on the correct side of the also .

Hi Michael! Congratz zu Deinem Video und Deiner Z06! Sehr beeindruckend und ein super cooler sound! Power pur! So ne Z0 das wär was! ;-) Corvette rulez! Bin wenigstens virtuell mitgefahren! LOL Greets from Switzerland! :-)

I saw 190 MPH, for the american peeps ! , awesome ride! The silver 4 door @ 3:20 was passed @ 165 MPH, just an idea!

Awesome sound! Look here: Corvette loud sound! DRIFT!

And on the other side of the Rhine too :) Great car and great video OP, one more "like" :)

It's sad that it doesn't as I believe many of our interstates could handle this. The problem is our drivers are not trained well and pull out in front of people. That would lead to too many accidents. I would say the average speed on most of our interstates today is about 70 to 75. And I would say you can safely drive about 85 to 90 on them but much beyond that you risk getting in an accident from someone pulling out on you. Traffic/lack of driver training in the US will always be an issue.

Als der Abschnitt noch "offen" war. Jetzt ist von Sulzemoos bis hinterm Berg nach Dachau/FFB 120. Schade.

I like how that small hatchback in front of you is doing 215. No fucks given.

Die ganzen Schweiß mittelspurschleicher

If they implemented a similar highway system in my city (Vancouver) our population would drop by at least 35% in the first day due to incompetent drivers...

15 Prius owners disliked this video

😁The LS7

I think its because it would be expensive as FUCK to build a whole other interstate capable of handling hundreds of thousands of drivers doing 100+mph all at once when we already have a perfectly good interstate system.

nice das Ding geht ja von 220 auf 300 wie nix hätte ich echt nicht gedacht das die Z06 so gut durchzieht

its an option that you can get from factory

Die Autobahn kenn ich nur zu gut - Liebe Grüße aus FFB ;-)

If someone could fund a private road, with strict licensing, and camera's all over the place, and smart people enforcing the strict laws. Just a dream though. I drive back and forth from TN to FL a couple times a year, and people don't seem to understand the whole stay right unless you're passing idea. And everyone thinks the center lane is for god damn cruise control. Yes, I completely understand why we don't have one.

Just so people aren't confused from the start, the speedometer is in Km/Hr

They actually move out your way?

gotta wonder if those other motorists know there are versions of that vette in the US that have not 505hp, but that times 3,4, 5 etc.

Lol trucks don't ever pass each other, its a nightmare to be infront, while the other trucks tailgate you to drive through a vacuum with no air resistance and save so much gas.

really nice video

I know man. I drive from Tennessee to Florida a few times a year. It's fucking horrible. I wish someone could privately fund a road for only "qualified" drivers.

I live in the US. And I agree with you 100%. There is nothing that this is me off more than an idiot driving in the fast Lane the same speed as the guy next to him in the center lane!

Ist das in Deutschland wenn ja wo?

Hi Michael :) Glückwunsch zur Z06, super Auto. Bei mir dauerts noch 2 Jahre, dann steht hoffentlich eine in Velocity Yellow bei mir in der Einfahrt :P kannst du vielleicht mal ne kleine owners perspective geben, also wie das Auto aus deiner Sicht von den Kosten, dem Triebstrang, der Fahrbarkeit etc. ist?? Gruß

Most of our drivers (not all but most) wouldn't be skilled enough to handle it here in the states. Constantly we would have soccer moms in mini vans still talking on the phone in the left lane and 18 wheelers trying to sneak in a pass over another truck. It would be nice, but I feel like the states will never become open to the idea.

RH side in europe???

HP now a days... Working on 725 HO 1966 FALCON

what year?

Nettes Video! Manual oder Automatic?

how did you put on the heads up display? thats cool.

geil geht das ding nach vorne!!! will haben!!

It looks fake, because at 250 km + you don't seem to be going so much faster than the other cars

Geil Döringer... Biste von FFB aus los? XD coole sache,.. aber diese schleicher bei 250 sind echt doof haha

Great place. USA?

One day when you can afford one you ll stop criticizing people who actually do.

All Vettes come with this option

So cool!

Stubborn TT driver.

9:17am. nice speed. 356km\h (204mph)

Yes. There is leniency, though.

WTH is a KM??? Kum???

Sad the fast racetrack is its natural habitat and the country that provides this car can't do it justice. The U.S needs to build an autobahn either by East to West or North to South

Welches Baujahr is die denn?

What does that have to do with this video?

any car would

your thinking about england.

I see dumb slow drivers in the fast lane cutting in front of fast drivers isn't a uniquely American phenomenon. Must be an amazing feeling to drive a Vette WOT without any fear of police. I don't think I'd want to be that close to the wall with my crappy Goodyear F1 G2's though, as they like to follow cracks and lines in the road.

Stock?

what year is your zo6

Look really close and read his H.U.D. It's in km/h, not mph. 300 km/h = 186 mph

so you hit 180?

Am I the only one that thinks the temp is wrong or is unusually high. I mean even if the driver let her warm up to operating temperature, it shouldn't be 100°C right when he takes off. idk I'm only an apprentice mechanic
