My point is that a US spec car with highway miles have been driven regularly at speeds of 60-80 mph. A german car with highway miles have been driven regularly at speeds of twice that

I'm not sure I can fully agree with that: a lot of Germany's autobahns are pretty congested these days. On a north (Aachen) to south (Austria) run back in 2000, I only managed to max out at 110mph due to the traffic density being too high.

I was actually hoping to get the needle as far round the dial as possible, but unrestricted autobahns with no traffic seems harder to find than it was 15 years ago.

Just my, er, DM0.02 :)
