On my last road trip I did get passed by a 911 GT3 RS (in white)... it was probably going about 130 mph, so nothing too crazy. I guess also an R8, but not going very fast. But yeah, I rarely see cars going much above 100 on it, and for whatever reason I figured there would be a lot of people going fast before I moved here. Most of my driving has been in eastern Germany (Koln to the Black Forest area), so maybe in the western parts people drive faster... but I don't know.
But you are right, those diesels love to cruise down to road between 100 and 120 mph. Occasionally a German SUV will blow by as well. I guess I have hit about 110 mph in my Seat TDI, but being 11 years old, it doesn't really like going much above 90.
