I often race others at the track 4-5 seconds slower than me , that last 100 foot or so is pretty fun ..kinda dangerous , I once raced Omni that was 14 seconds slower

Talk about over driving your ability to react.

You are moving at 11704 feet per minute, 378 feet per second. That is more than a football field.

Average reaction time is 273 milliseconds. In that time you have moved 103 feet.

That just how far you have moved before you realize something is there. Then you start to react.

Half a second (?) to get off the gas an onto the brakes, another 189 feet. Now we are at 292 feet from the time you saw something till the time you touch the brake pedal.

Meanwhile that deer doesn't even have time to know you have headlights much less give you that look.

It may be legal to do those speed on the Autobahn, but legal doesn't preclude stupid. Not saying I've never been stupid on the highway, but I can say I have never been that stupid, lack of ability lol.

So assuming he was still traveling well over 200 MPH at the end when he took his hands off the wheel, how far did he travel with his hands off the wheel?

The end looks real, but why does the driving part look like a video game?

I noticed that also butt just figured it must be some cheap camera or something that couldn't catch stuff that good at that speed.

We may have more land, but I'm pretty sure we also have far, FAR more idiots on the road (you ever watch the videos where an idiot will come to a complete STOP in front of a Semi barreling down the freeway?)

if google did the math right.
a go pro films at 120 frames per second.

at 250 mph, it is 366 feet / sec
so the camera skipped 2 feet for every foot it saw.

No point. I can pretty much guaranty you that transports will be leap frogging in the two right lanes and an old oriental female will be doing ten under the limit in the left lane - where its her God-given right to drive!

That car is really stable tho it seems - especially considering the distance he drove at that speed. Amazing machine!

Hot Rod Lincoln by Charlie Ryan


From the Comander Cody version with 8 cylinders instead of Charlie Ryan's 12.

Now the boys all thought I'd lost my sense
And telephone poles looked like a picket fence.
They said, "Slow down! I see spots!
The lines on the road just look like dots."
Took a corner; sideswiped a truck,
Crossed my fingers just for luck.
My fenders was clickin' the guardrail posts.
The guy beside me was white as a ghost.

Kevin

Amazing what a 3 million dollar car will do. Looks pretty intense.
