a factory driver achieved an average speed of 277.9 mph during two runs on Nevada’s Route 160 between Las Vegas and Pahrump

Is that legal?

Initial acceleration was very leisurely, preserving the tires?

The Salt Lake guys apparently have traction issues getting up to speed.

The sense of speed depends on what you’re driving and even more so on the road. Like a Maserati in the New Mexico desert is smooth as silk. But much more excitimg was going 130 in my 1967 Morgan Plus 4 with the windshield off on a Michigan road. Very scary.

Didn't look too different from what you see from the left seat taking off an airplane.

That’s pretty fast, My friend builds Race Cars and Motors, he recently did a New Camaro that did 277 MPH in a Standing Mile, and was trying to build a faster one, . I will ask what ever happened to it, it wasn’t at his shop last week when I was there??.
