I didn’t know a Versa could go that fast.

Nitrous? Downhill on steep grade? Strong tailwind?

Was just going to post that. Would have thought the little Datsun would only get up to about 90.

No way I would try and top end one of those beer cans.

My VW sedan could hit around 80 mph, downhill, with a tail wind, and that was like riding a skateboard down Pike’s Peak.
A high wind could move me several inches to the left or right. She was flying low. But she’s pretty hot, so not guilty.

I'd never think to push a Versa past 70 or so. The damned things are really bottom-rung transportation; akin to the 1980s Hyundai sedans. IIRC, Nissan had problems with airbags in that model - they'd fire if a door was slammed hard.

I’d guess that’s an estimate from a police car chasing her rather than radar or beibg clocked.

The cat is ‘drag limited’ to 110 according to test drivers, so it might get faster on a long enough downhill grade.

Felony charges are warranted.
