On the way back from Glen, a Mustang GT Convertible w/ US plates passed my while pulling onto the 'bahn ... took me a minute or two to catch up (he was doing around 160k, compared to my 40-60 at that time...), but once I got up to speed, it went pretty fast ... he didn't seem to want to play, I slowed down twice, then passed him again ... older guy, 45+ I'd guess ... he headed towards Wildflecken ...

Yeah, if you were in one of the Camaros, he would have bit. It all depends on the bait you use. He is used to BMWs passing him prolly, but to see a Camaro pass, that would have gotten him.
