That's one fast Mustang!

208 and not in a Porsche? Hoax?

[AU72]

Like to see what he had under the hood.

.... Bet it was clocked at KPH and not MPH. That’s way to fast for standard stock vehicle.

What is the company’s name down in TX that makes souped up mustangs?.....Hemmings?

[o-n-money]

Who caught him?

Driver likely had one foot on the brake, and one on the gas.
Too much traffic and he couldn't pass, No!
If that driver rocketed past at 208 mph the trooper would be barely able to even identify the color of the car.
I think this report contains lots of inaccuracies.

Well if Slow Joe Bidet can get 160mph out of a stock ‘64 Corvette then I guess jose can get 208mph out of a Mustang.

Must be one of those Roush Stage 3 Mustangs. Friend of ours bought one. 600 some odd HP IIRC

“turning off his headlights and brake lights at one point”

I’m sure they mean tail lights and not brake lights...but don’t reporters know anything anymore?

They took my license, so now I don’t drive...

Didn't know a 'stang could go that fast, must have been heavily modified.

208 in the dark with no headlights is just asking for trouble, innit?

Just drove 15 hours last weekend, the majority at night, nervous and speed-compliant. Lots of fresh blood patches and deer carcasses around...

My Fox body (eighties and early nineties) stock Mustang(s) would start getting front end mush floaty above 100 MPH. They topped out around (indicated) 135 MPH. I doubt newer models are much better without LOTS of modifications.

Street Outlaws. It’s in the 405, right?

[C210N]

Good thing he didn’t stick his hand out the window...

Factoring in Bernoulli’s, he’d be airborne.

[Gay State Conservative]

IIRC Top Gear drove a Bugatti Veyron Vitess a couple of years ago and got it up to something like 220MPH.It's hard for me to believe a Mustang doing 208.But if this clown did anywhere near 200MPH he deserves 10 years.

Defective radar. People go to court all the time to challenge speed readings, esp. the hand held units.

“...driver was arrested on complaints of reckless driving”

After someone called it in, troopers must have been cruising up ahead waiting for him to come along.
