hmm, weird cars you have there...
I own a little Ford Fiesta with a 1.3 liter engine. It does 190kmh (which is just short of 130mph) when I put the pedal to the metal down a gentle slope (though it takes a while to get up to that).
I don't often do so, too dangerous, but it can do it.

Re: 130 Mph

Is is really all that hard to go 130 mph when riding down a mountain sloap; now do that riding UP hill and that would be a grand achievement. ? Certainly Mr. Stoeckl diserves all the glory and attention for doing it, but I would think it could be somewhat easily achieved by other athletes.

Actually it is an accomplishment. Alot more goes into than just jumping on a bike riding down a hill. Riding on snow isn't easy. Riding on snow at 130mph and not losing control is certainly an accomplishment. He beat the previous record by 14mph that was set 8 years ago. If it is so easily achievable, I'm sure someone would have done it before now.

Re: 130 Mph

Skydivers can achieve a maximum of 120 mph during the free fall part of their dive. So 130 mph is a real achievement!
