220 MPH in an 85MPH zone

[Jason1]

That's right, Texas allowed Hennessey to test the states toll system to see if it worked in extreme speeds.

Here is video:

Everybody should have a 220 Mph caddy ....

Thats quick. Made 190mph riding in a friends L-88 vette back in the day. Its insane how fast stuff goes by in real time.

What was crazy was how fast that car made speed.

 

[WillR]

Ummm. Where do I sign up to do that?

I saw 185 on my father-in-laws 2005 supercharged vette. It only has about 450 hp at the wheels. The digital speedo was jumping 2 mph at a click up to 150. It was wicked cool. It could have pulled 200 easy had a corner not been coming up.

This one time, in high school, I got my Chevy S10 up to 93.... Vroom Vroom baby!!

My Tayota went 85 once. I was totally drafting behind a semi "shake n' bake" style.

I hit 120 in my BMW. Can't imagine hitting 200+ in the same time.

 

[SpaceFlunky]

damn the fastest ive ever gone was 145 mph in my old 96 Mustang GT. elephant dung was scary fast to my 18 year old self.

 

[Iggie]

I think I can make 73.5 going down hill if its a big hill

220 is fun everyone should drive a car that goes 200+. A twin turbo 555 running with a 6 speed lenco. When u have to ease into the throttle at a 100 you know ur running over 1400 horse

 

[n8thegr8]

Fastest I've gone was 110 in my old Mustang, damn governor...

 

[hermnrob]

I'm the type that has to makesure the vehicle will do what the speedo number read. Buried the needle in a 65 mustang past 120, hit 132 in a 4 cylinder Camry had to back off and didn't get to 140. My toyota truck 110, I bought my son a 350z but haven't had chance yet to many curves although the curves are fun. Going to brake the chain and not try the wife's Mini Van.

That ain't nothing, I was airborn on stage 1 last weekend.
Yes...I crashed and burned.
I was told it looked good though.
