“Figuring 2,600 miles he’d have to average 96MPH without stopping for a *single* second. “
That is the easy part. You just need to be lucky with the cops.
I expressed my doubts on another thread. But another reason I doubt it is because once the first LEO radio bulletin went out about 120+ mph pursuit across county and state lines, he’d have the entire LEO world on alert. He’d be a marked man from coast to coast. There’d be bears in the air like flocks of locusts. Naaah! I can’t buy it. Show us the video.
“That is the easy part.”
Easy? Roads in the US, to include freeways, are not designed for those speeds. There are on ramps, towns, curves, mountains, that extreme speeds could not be maintained. There is a chance of driving that fast for a while, but not for 2600 miles.
For the driver to blaze through a small town in the sticks with a speed limit of 25, and not have the cop with the mirrored glass on both sides not call him boy and put him in with Bubba for a while, is a lot more realistic. Makes good ink.
