I've been over 160 MPH before in a Cobra (In Montana before they had speed limits) I caught a little air at a few spots. It was pretty cool. I made about 350 miles in about 3 1/2 hours. I had to stop at a thrift store half-way to my destination, that took a little time
But yeah, that Bugatti is bawlz to the wall. I didn't think they had anybody willing to drive it that fast due to unstability over 200mph. I could be wrong though.
Blah blah blah!
As a driver, ~190 (speedo had not been recalibrated after gear change yet) in a mildly modified Viper.
As a passenger, 205 in a friend's twin turbo Callaway Corvette with a few tweaks done!
I have one of the videos somewhere that used to be on the racingfreaks website.
