P.S. Most of the Autobahn has a speed limit

And where there isn't, around 160kph is cruising speed for regular cars (not trucks). People in a hurry drive 200kph legally where possible all the time. It's really not uncommon. 178kph on a highway is not super speed.

German driving skill is far above the average US citizen. Germans expect a Porsche with an itching trigger finger on the high beams to be passing at 200. USians can't be arsed to check their mirrors because they're entitled to the road and anyone going faster deserves a crash. Just look at how much road rage they have because people drive the exact speed limit in the passing lane and get passed on the wrong side.
