So the video car is doing 150kph or mph? And what actually passed him. I feel like this is a photo-metaphor for leaving the parking lot at work on Friday.

1: The car's doing 150 KPH
2: I have no idea what car passes him
3: You can interpret it any way you want, I just liked this gif, so I posted it.

*edit looks like 150kph or 93+ mph

Probably on the Autobahn, so if it's a German car it would be 150 Kph. As to what passed him, a Murcielago maybe?

Let's think a second: guy stays in field of view (maybe 1/8th of a mile) about 3 seconds if I have it right. That would be nearly a 150mph speed difference, and at 140 kph, that's about 235 mph. Now, I don't expect the gif's timing is that perfect, but even so, I think we're in the right order of magnitude. That was *very likely* nudging 200.

Found the source video. Supposedly a Z06 Corvette.

Hey, I was curious just how wild it was.

I had that happen to me one time. Late 90's somewhere I was in Germany for work and had a Mercedes C130 as my rental car. Was cruising along the Autobahn holding my foot to the floor, passed someone and over the hill behind me came fast moving blinking headlights. I moved quickly over and WHOOSH... he was going MUCH faster than I thought. BMW 7 something big, big sedan that disappeared over the next hill and was gone. I was going 190-ish KPH as I recall it and that thing blew past me with a roar like I was standing still. I slowed back down to 'normal' speeds after that.
I called that C130 the "ford taurus of germany" (late 90's remember) - it was that or an Opel at the rental agency and I was like I'm in Germany, give me a damn german car!

Yepp, sure looks like a C6 to me.

C6 Corvette confirmed (this is the sharpest I could get the image)

No problem. After seeing 200 MPH, I was like 'Holy Crap.'

Alright guys, let's play a Friday afternoon game...Name That Car! Sorry for the low quality, just pulled these quickly. My original thoughts were Infiniti G35/37 or GTR or Z, then one of the frames made me think Corvette.

It's a C6 Corvette. This is from the source video, and this is as far as I could enhance it using PAINT.NET

Ah, there we go then. That game lasted all of 40 seconds. WHAT AM I TO DO NOW??

God. Damn. GM quotes 198mph as the Z06's stock top speed. I mean it's probably been at least a little modified, but still... Maxed on the autobahn like a 'murican sir.

How long does a set of tires last at 200 mph?

I have no idea.
