Doesn't seem like enough mods for your claimed whp output. I see no fuel mods and a chip for fuel control... I call BS.
Not to mention you're completely OK about running 130+ on the highway with people on it during the day?? Any sane person would be at least worried for the safety of others and do it late at night.

btw, you think it's BS, here is my dyno sheet before my 4lb lower:

458.4rwhp and 517.7rwtq
xls sheet with 100 rpm increments
 
The only real comment I have to add concerns the merge lane. Isn't the merge lane typically the one in which more drivers ride, as it's on the right-hand side of the highway? I noticed that in one video, there was a car signaling a right-hand lange change, and it actually seemed to slide slightly into your lane before you passed it. What would've happened had that driver not checked his mirror, and simply swerved in front of you?

Your fault? Yep. And you would've ended up killing someone by either rear-ending that driver, or by attempting to move out of the way at 130mph.

Also, as someone else mentioned, at those speeds you really should've been using two hands (typical 2 and 10 or 3 and 9 grip). The people criticizing you aren't saints; I'm sure they've broken quite a few traffic laws themselves. The thing that seems to irk them is that you don't realize that your actions were irresponsible. It doesn't matter how well-controlled your driving is; the other people on the road most likely pose a larger threat to your (and their own) safety. The average commuter shouldn't have to worry about how to react to a car closing in on them at 120+ mph.

I have a few handguns I enjoy to shoot too, you think a public place would be the best arena? How about your house? Think about what you are saying.

that's just a stupid analogy...the fact is that I was very controlled in what I was doing and when traffic did come up I slowed down with ample space ahead of me. It's one thing to drive like this and have no control and another thing to drive like this and have control.

Holding the gun can be very controlled and have ample space in front of the gun. That doesn't mean that something may not happen where you, in your illegal stupidity, lose control and someone dies.

You fvcked up and you know it (or should, rather). Own up like a man. Grow up. Quit pulling this bullsh|t and drive responsibly.


yeah but after you shoot a bullet you can't stop it in less than 200 feet can you?

..you can go from 135mph to 0 in less than 200 feet?
Edit: beat me by a few minutes..

If you're going to do that, at least keep both hands on the wheel..
 
Actually that is where you are wrong. I took a 3 day road course class at Summit Point last year and continue to go to summit point raceway 1 a month. I also have been drag racing (at the track) for the past 3 years. I actually know how to drive.

Then keep that b.s. ON the track. Someone like you should know better.

Those videos prove that you don't know how to drive. Just because Mario Andretti "knows" how to drive, doesn't mean he goes flying like fvck on the public roadways that he drives on after work. Jesus.

LISTEN TO US. We're not just being pricks. Well, we are. But it's for a reason. Even though you're fvcking stupid, we don't want to see you or anyone else seriously hurt for something as stupid as immaturity.

How many times have you been in the situation where you've had to react that quickly and move away from a speeding car into your lane, trying to avoid hitting something else? How many times have cars come into your lane while you're speading like a bat out of hell into your lane?

dude, in the second video, you can't even stay in one fvcking lane.

Yes, you are allowed. However the information you have posted does not side with the defense. It sides with the prosecution! You're putting yourself away with all the bullsh|t that you're posting.

Lots of times. Would you like to be added to the list of those whom I flame? You seem to be blind: I'm not the attention whore in this thread. I'm trying desperately to talk some sense into someone who's being incredibly immature in a very serious situation. If you don't like the way I talk, go fvck yourself. 🙂
 
I honestly don't care how good of a driver you are. Collin McRae wouldn't risk flipping his car by having someone merge into his lane on a public highway at 135mph, and that crazy bastard does like 100 around 180 degree turns.

It's not a matter of skill. It's a matter of needlessly endangering lives.

The end of the second video, you are clearly riding right over the broken white line for several seconds. Not even an effort to stay in the lanes. But, of course, if you're going to do something as stupid as drive wrecklessly down an occupied highway, why would I expect you to atleast stay in your own lane?
 
That Civic in the 2nd vid just before the bridge could've taken you out very easily... people panic when they see people racing up in their rear-view... and who knows what senior citizens see at all... if he carelessly cut into your lane, you would've went right onto the shoulder and who knows how much control you'd have after that...

I also notice you slowed down after clearing the traffic areas... what was the point there?

Do what you want with your life, just not while buzzing by innocent drivers at 100mph. I once thought I was invincible too...

you are obviously the moron here, cause I was not in the other lane until I switched to that lane. the camera is at an angle and that is with the dotted line appears to be in the middle.

Yeah, the moron had to swerve to the right as the highway was CROWDED with cars! Zooming in the RIGHT lane is an even worse display of idiocy.

This idiot should have his license revoked.

The camara is sitting right next to the passenger seat head rest. A Cobra Coupe isn't a monster truck. There's not much room under the car --read: it hugs the ground. There's no way that you're in your own lane and the camara angle catching the dotted lines from next to your car.

Jesus. No spacial concept at all.... and you're fvcking driving!?
 
Would you like to be added to the list of those whom I flame?
Wow, are you threatening me over the internet? I thought we all outgrew that in...what...middle school? Flame away, if you get your jollies off that.

If you don't like the way I talk, go fvck yourself.
Actually, if I don't like the way someone is talking, conjur has pointed out that the best response is:

idiot

stop

posting.


Did that work?

If he were going a reasonable speed, he wouldn't have had to swerve. We're not calling him for swerving. We're calling him for having to swerve because of his rate of speed.

Next?
