This guy could have killed someone driving at those speeds. I hope they take his drivers license away forever. Dale

   I think the guy is all mouth. After watching the video i find it hard to believe he was going that fast.

I have to agree with bobg. I don't think he was driving that fast. Definitley over the speed limit, deserve's a ticket. And I know if  I owned a car dealership he wouldn't be working for me after that. gypsyman

 well i try an stay out of peoples buisiness but my grandkids could have been on that rd..i would have copied hi plate number an called it in..
    in younger days.. ida waited until he pulled in somewhere an if he was willing ,,i mighta taught him a lesson about vigilanti justice,, where my my familys safety is concerned..
 but that was my younger days.. im wiser now,,i hope. slim
 in my real younger days .. i was guilty of the same thing..mamas prayers got me through it ,,with out killing some innocent person..it woulda done me good for some old farmer or whatever to have snatched me outa the car an whupped my fanny..

If ya'll think this does not happen alot ya need to get out more . Why do ya'll think people buy these cars ?

[williamlayton]

Come on boys--who has not taken their car to the limit? Some maybe--but fess up.
when they get these cars what do think they are going to do with them at least once--and they probably do it at any chance.
His fault and ignorance was doing it in a crowded highway.
I will admit to pushing my old hoopie near the limit in Wyoming and Montana.
It was a dangerous and stupid thing he did, where he did it. Kinda reminds me of the redneck boys "hold my beer and watch this."

   I don't agree with that SHOOTALL. Years ago i owned a Dodge Charger that woud hit  120 without even trying. Did i drive it that way. I don't think so. Yes i did try it ONE time on an open stretch of back road. There is no way that guy was going 150.

bobg , I got pulled for doing 132 . My speed-o-meter said 129 but the radar said 132 . My next car was faster . And I would run it any time i got a chance . Most all my friends were the same . We had a lady English teacher with an XKE 12 cyl. that would do 140 anytime , she was in her 60's then. A good friend had a Charger RT/SE w/383 , nice ride but his dad had the machine Cornet RT W/440 magnum 150 no sweat , it would do 120 in first gear no kidding .

Speed, what a rush.  But the place for it is on a closed track, not public roads.  That way, when you 'crash and burn' you are the only one risking injury.  I was a paramedic for over ten years, and can't tell you how many dozens of innocent people I had to scrape off the road, because some hotrod wanted to see how fast she'd go.  Here's a local story of a hotrod that lost control and ran his maserati through a house killing the 62 year old man inside watching tv.

And to further add insult to injury this dude didn't even get any time...I guess if you can afford a maserati, you can afford a good lawyer too.

Ain't it the truth!   I friend still has the Coronet 440 and another has the 69 Hemi Roadrunner complete with a Ronnie Sox engine.   Folks would have to be terribly nieve to think they never get run out.   Got stopped in my old Cuda on a closed section of road.  The speedo registered 160 and it had maxed a mile or so before.   Didn't even get a ticket.     

Just recently was streching out my truck to clear things out and was passed by a bike.  As an estimate he was in the 150 to 160 range.   Yes it can be dangerous but to think it doesn't happen every day is just silly.

I think I would be more afraid of a teenager doing 55 and typing a text message on their phone. Compared to the guy doing 150 in a Lamborgini paying attention to where he is going.

Sayo what gear ratio was in your Cuda? I had a 70 Roadrunner with a 383 and it had 323's. It wasn't a rocket out of the hole but it had plenty of top end. I went 125 in it once, and that was on a short straight away. It had plenty more to give, but that was the only time I took it to that speed. I still think today how stupid it was to go that fast. I'm sure my tires were not rated for that speed. Wish I never had sold that car. It was one of the nicest riding cars I've ever ridden in. I never was much of a Chrysler person, but the old Mopars couldn't be beat.   

Shootall what rears did the Cornet have? Must have been airplane gears to achieve 120 in first.

I have occasionally slightly exceeded the speed limit in sports cars   Always, however, in desolate, long straight strips of road in excellent condition.

I don't speed. Tickets cost money and I ain't got none.

i  did  130 in my  old  car

it  had plenty left  but i was on  old tires
tho  they  were  speed  rated  tires

it  burned up  a few months  ago

did  129  on  my bike.....i wanted to see  130  but it wouldn't do it

i   don't thing  any thing will go  over  100  now [except the bike]

Back in about 1964 I was flying low in my Triumph TR-3B on a new freeway to Memphis.  There was almost no traffic on this stretch of highway, so it was a natural place to let er rip.  Anyway, I was cruising along at about 115 when I spotted a little red dot in my rearview mirror.  I didn't think too much about it and just kept the hammer down.  The next time I looked in the mirror, the red dot had grown into some kind of rocket that was about to blow my doors off.

Fellas, this thing went by me like I had stomped on the brakes.  It was a bright shinny new Buick convertible with the top up, which was blown up like a balloon.  That guy had to be doing in excess of 150.

I'm glad I got all that out of my system a long time ago.
