There’s a new superhighway between Seguin and Austin (toll road) that is super fast. The speed limit is only 85, you feel like you’re crawling.
Mark Hennessy recently ran a Corvette down it at 200 mph. I’d like to drive a Super Car down it some time. Although I know I’d chicken out and back off at about 140.
(Maybe less)

That is not a bad comparison. The cockpit of the Veyron is modeled and made out of aircraft materials.

"There’s a new superhighway between Seguin and Austin (toll road) that is super fast. The speed limit is only 85, you feel like you’re crawling." Oooh, need to check it out! And, I need to rent a vehicle to test the roadway... (don't have my '90 Q45 anymore - 185 with reprogramming electronic limiter).

Once I drove that road towing my travel trailer. I maintained 60-70 mph. In the right lane.
Never again.
The cars, trucks, 18 wheelers, etc. flying by 30-40 mph (at least) faster can make one a little nervous and concerned.

If I were to win the mega millions lottery, I’d buy one but I’d likely have to wait in line............

If I win the lottery I’d be looking at islands.

I saw one of those in the valet parking area of the Mall of Dubai a couple of months ago.It had Saudi plates on it...as did many of the Ferraris,Maseratis and other $500,000+ cars that were parked in the same lot.

That would be my second choice, an island big enought to drive my new car at top speed..........

I saw a Veyron in my small town (30,000) last month.
Last summer a Mercedes 540SSK drove past my house...all white with wire wheels and wide white-wall tires. Very stunning.

back before my brain fully matured (so in my teens) I ran a 1985 Merkur XR4Ti up to 180.. what a rush that was...
car was obviously not stock, but man was it quick.

As a side note, I can forego the car if there’s no road on the island to accomodate it.........On an island like that, I’d happily walk wherever..........

That's not a Bugatti.
THIS is a Bugatti.

If 200mph = 300 ft/sec, then 246mph = 360.8 ft/s...
The need for speed!
