I'm pretty sure the Autobahn has speed limits now. I believe it changed in the past year, I could be wrong though. .

Sections of it are limited, but there are still quite a few spots without limits.

It might be cheaper to stay in the USA and just pay the ticket.....

theres speed limits when you get close and pass a town out in the middle of no where there isnt one.honsetly a stock early mustang would be lucky to break 120mph theres no over drive and the rear isnt geared for highway speeds.

mine 138 is all i got but i have a aod with a 4.11 gear pushing 200mph on my bike was crazy.besides do you want to try to stop a 4 wheel drum car at that speed or hit a pot hole and bump steer throws you across 3 lanes.
