those 500bhp are only really worth it in germany ngl edit: well actually 500bhp are kinda low for german autobahn LOL edit2: also the typical driving speed in germany autobahn of my 1y of driving experience is about 180kmh thats about 110mph xD can barely keep up with those people in my 1.6l Miata ;) i mean the top speed of a 1.6 Miata is about 180 kmh and thats also hella scary feeling with its old stock 30y old suspension get it (SUSpension xD)
