With the talk of going 200mph... - Lateral-g Forums

This video really shows how fast that really is. I also have to wonder how fast the car was actually going. The speedo says 191mph, but I'd be willing to bet it's not going quite that fast. I'd have to see speed readout from a GPS or radar.

Damn! Things sounds like a Jet after it goes by; that is moving.

I agree! Looks more like 175 or around there!

No helment? Dudes standing next to the road at the finish? Ahh to be young, dumb and full of c##. Funny how having kids and little bit of age changes things.

Besides that part. He was definitely hauling the mail. I would do it with full on saftey gear (IE 200 mph cage, fire supression system, etc)

You guys crack me up!

As if it would be possible, to judge within 15 MPH...whether he's doing 175, or doing 191, by watching bushes and the white lines whipping by, in this little video...

I believe he was most likely doing the claimed 191. The car can certainly do it. If he was out to tell lies, he'd probably be claiming the big 200.

Too fast for me, in a car with no safety equipment. If he lost a tire, he'd most likely roll and be dead.

I should amend that last sentence... too fast for me, period...

I'm not sure I would be doing that without a helmet and safety gear. That thing goes out of control with those people there and it would be a massacre.

Seemed like it took him forever to get from 160 to 190mph. What did it take like two miles too.

You guys are not too old. I'm in my 30s and I thought those nuts were too close to the road.

Back when I was younger and dumber I did 200mph according to the speedo in my supercharged 93 Cobra with a full Steeda road race suspension under it.
The difference between 150mph and every 10mph increment from there up definately doubles the pucker factor!! I only did it once on the autobahns over there but would regularly roll at 150mph with the AC on the cruise control set and the stereo blastin! (c:]

DAMN IT SEEMED LIKE IT TOOK FOREVER TO GET THERE . HE USED UP ALOT OF ROAD TO DO IT. I WOULD NEVER TRIED ANYTHING LIKE THAT ON OPEN PUBLIC ROADS. ON THE TRACK I HAVE GONE AS FAST AS 217MPH IN A PRO-MOD DRAG CAR. AND THINGS GO BY ALOT FASTER THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE AT THOSE SPEEDS. THERE JUST WOULD BE NO TIME TO CORRECT FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY GET IN THE WAY.
