When he slows back down to 160 mph it seems like he is just crawling along.

The record may not last long. The Hennesy Venom F5 is due out and that is supposed to hit 300mph.

I bet there are not many tires which can handle that speed for long.

I did that road on a motorcycle. I looked down and saw I was going 90. I slowed way, way down.

Pretty spectacular driver’s view. I just wonder how they were able to keep other drivers off the road even though it looks like it’s in the middle of nowhere.

I wonder how they set the tire pressures.

I’ve done sustained 140 MPH on German Autobahns in a Mercedes and was nervous as hell. This is TWICE that fast!

I still cannot figure how the Bugatti Chiron which is significantly more powerful and with more torque than the Dodge Demon is beat by it from 0-60 and on the drag strip.

Is it the gear box ratio, weight difference?

Shout out to the civil engineers and highway designers that made that flat out spot possible.

Can I get a group hug?

Damn that was fast. My Mustang would have shaken itself apart at 130

I can hardly make myself glance at the speedometer to check the speed, it's rather mesmerizing.

280mph. No big deal.I just put it on the white lines and watched them become one line. Piece of cake. Then I woke up in a cold sweat.

Another Neveda race, even better I believe. 207 MPH average or 90 miles, with plenty of curves.

Who drove it at 250+ mph? Kevin Harvick, who won the Texas race today?
