A Mercedes SUV hits 180mph?!?
The limit on the speedometer on my jeep is 160mph. I don’t know if it will go that fast, but 160 is the limit.
These ain’t your Daddy’s SUVs these days.
AMG 63 version for sure. There’s a bunch of 500-600hp SUVs. Because they can?
Yeah, my thought as well. BS.
The author is a Berkeley educated dumbass, so perhaps 180 is in kph rather than mph.
Then again, perhaps he just made up the speeds.
There is precedent:
Rocked me, too!
Of course, only a highly trained professional race car driver, or a 20yo, who is still immortal, can drive at speeds like that and not have his heart just seize up!
Ah, to be young, fearless, and mindless again!
Cops shoulda just let the dogs eat him.
My Honda S2000 topped out at 160. Not that I tried it, but there were yahoos on YouTube having their girlfriend record it on their phones.
Probably kph.
I questioned that as well ...It might have the power to do it..but not the aerodynamics...
He should have been tracked with a helicopter at a distance to the side and rear or his own GPS and intercepted when he left the highway. He would not likely have kept that speed if he did not perceive chase cars. If they identify the high end newer car and/or driver from the license plate then they can get his GPS coordinates from the feds quickly and track him thusly. Modern cars have GPS locaters constantly transmitting in them and someone with such a vehicle surely has a smart phone that also provides a GPS signal. The car GPS is one of a couple of reasons that I will never own a car newer than about 1985. Better to use the money for a new car to get an old car and have it restored.
