    168 and change... in a stock car at TMS.


    And I've got video... me crawling out of a stock car is not a pretty sight. Something akin to Uncle Jesse getting out of the General Lee.

    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.

    This post need a link to a video clip of you wiggling out of a window. My first 160+ was going to work one day at 4:15 AM. The wind drag from my backpack almost peeled me off.

    On the ground, 70 on I-35. That's all I'm saying.

    In the air, ~30 in an Aeronca Champ. As cars zipped past on the highway below.

    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    110MPH in my completely stock 93' Altima. I was whoopin' on another stock 97' Sentra. Bridge up ahead that I've never taken past 80MPH though, so I shutdown Only ~6,000RPM's though, might have made it to 120MPH on a level road.
