Other observations: They really like dark colors there (No IOM?). Also, that chevy formation is very precise and efficient, in a Germanic sort of way. It probably cost 20 gallons to set up, but nicely done.

When going at around 155 to 185 mph, you'd hope the roads are not littered by potholes every 200 yards

20 Gallons to set-up the bowtie? Well, more like 5-ish, but per car

Dark Colors? It's more to camouflage your car, as almost anything you mod on your car is roadlegal

and IOM is pretty hard to get over here....

Looks like a great time with some other Camaro owners! I wish I could take my car to Germany and hit the Autobahn!

We need autobahns in the US, where you would need to pass a special course to be able to have access. NY to LA in 24hrs !!!

I wish we would implement some of the Autobahn laws. Such as driving in the left lane while not overtaking a slower car in the right lane results in a ticket!

another nice short clip: arriving at our hotel

and one more from our cruising

As far as the "special course" is concerned:

Get your ride over here and join us for a spin

This was definetely not our last get together this year. Next year by the way, it'll best of both worlds: Autobahn and some terryfying but beautiful passes through the Alps

that's your exam sorted

More then one hour we need with the 24 Camaros for the bowtie.

Mr Twisty · 08-16-2010, 05:25 PM

Great roads, fast cars, pretty women and the best beer... There should be a Camaro commercial in there someplace

GEEo · 08-16-2010, 05:26 PM

Nice guys!

vafinest25 · 08-16-2010, 05:33 PM

That was awesome, brings back so many memories i was in Germany in 07 when i bought my wifes current car her 545I BMW. That was great driving on the autobond at 150 MPH, so i can only imagine how it was to drive the Camaro. I know everyones head was turning watching all those beautiful cars...

At around like 1:14 the blue camaro's blinker was on the reverse light? Is that how they are in Europe?

TinyToasta · 08-16-2010, 05:42 PM

At least for Germany there´s no standard setup for tail-lights, rear-fog, reverse, indicator, etc...

We had 25 Camaros around and I've seen 25 different set-ups, including all that awesome afterburner and self-made LED/SMD stuff.

Even for stock there's no German-like disciplined way to get it road legal, I guess our dealers tend to be creative on Camaros afterall
