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

He’s still shifting gears at 220.

Man...you lose it at that speed and you’re in a world of hurt. For about 5 seconds.

His last shift was north of 225!

That was when he moved back into the right line!

The fastest I ever went was 156 and at night it looked like the white dashed lines were coming up over the hood (note how they start to blur at that general speed in the video and picture it in the dark with headlights on them). Would love a car that could do it but these days I’d just be wasting a lot of power....older you get the more sense you get and the more sense you get the longer you tend to live...

LOL no kidding.

The fastest I’ve ever gone is 147mph in a 91 Eclipse GTX (modded, of course)...backed off when the front end started floating. My ex-wife waking up and screaming at me helped lol. I sold it shortly thereafter.

278 is INSANE.
