    Re: Autobahn experience Munich to Landshut

    ignacio, before my Cayenne Turbo, I drove a ML55 AMG for more than 3 years. I can assure you that if you drive a SUV "right", there is no danger of a rollover.
    Rollovers happen because of stupid drivers which try to break the world record on how often they can turn the steering wheel from left to right and vice versa in one second , they happen because of low tire pressure or even non-approved tires and they happen because of moving load in the trunk which isn't properly "secured". You would be surprised to see what you can do with a ML55, most so called sports car drivers can't follow me... And the Cayenne Turbo is MUCH MUCH safer because the ML55 has a very dumb steering which can even be dangerous in the wrong hands.
    And believe it or not: my Cayenne Turbo feels safer in high speed curves than my former E55 AMG LIMOUSINE. Go figure...

    Your words actually prove that a lot of people don't know too much about modern SUVs. Drive one, you'll be surprised.
    The secret is: you have to adapt to the car, not drive it like a limousine or sports car. People just "miss" that.

Unbelievable coordination of mind, eyes, hands and feet. I could NEVER do that. This is why I said that it depends on the driver, not the car. Some drivers are capable of things we can't do and I have all respect for them.



    I always find it amazing when I hear incidents of F1 drivers crashing in regular road cars. DC, Ralf and Mika Hakkinen come readily to mind. Perhaps the lack of speed relative to their "work" cars causes problems for them?

    I remember driving this road at 12 midnight. I was in a rental
    Audi 80 trying to keep the speed at 160km/h for 30 minutes.
    It was a moon-lit night... This was fun for an American. The
    Audi steering was "squirrel-ly" .

    To my astonishment, I was passed by a VW Vanagon, not
    Eurovan. It must have had a "special" engine and
    suspension!

    I guess thats why my father says "no", when I want to drive the Porsche!!!.
    Probably all of you, have been in this web page, but just in case: Lots of accidents: www.wreckedexotics.com
