Everything. What isn't stupid about him? Unexperienced driver behind the wheel of one of the most exotic sports cars in the world. Not a good combo! Do you honestly think driving at 200+ MPH on a public roadway is safe, especially at night! Headlights don't even give safe reaction times when you drive 75 mph, let alone 219.

As I said before, reaction times are drastically reduced going at such a speed. Also take into consideration other cars on the road going a mere ~65 mph. A typical car is not capable of protecting passengers from this type of force. Add to that the fact that this idiot doesn't have the car control skills or the reflexes to be able to prevent a collision at these speeds.

He SHOULD be racing this in a controlled track environment where if an accident were to occur, he wouldn't be putting the lives of innocent people at danger for no apparent reason. It does not justify racing the car on this highway simply because there aren't that many cars on the highway at the moment he is racing. God forbid he were to have crashed into anyone, all passengers from both vehicles would be dead.

Refer to the what's so stupid about him response if anyone intends driving like this outside of a racetrack or the Autobahn.

highest i've ever gone was 105mph in my nissan frontier 4cylinder pickup truck on a flat stretch on Route 30 in Iowa.

regardless, video was stil fun

There's nothing inherently safer about the autobahn than the road he was driving on. Also, how can you say he's inexperienced? For all you know he races cars for a living. I'll agree with you that driving that fast is dangerous, but he seemed to know what he was doing, and the freeway he did it on was almost completely deserted.

I'm not that into cars and don't know, but I would guess that it would be hard to find a public racetrack with a long enough straightaway to hit that top speed.

Posted by Elec on Nov-28-2007 01:07:

Just a few points I'd like to make:

1. Whats the point of criticizing the way he shifts with the paddles? What makes you an expert on Lamborghini egear shifting? When was the last time you drove a Lamborghini with paddle shifters?

2. Reaction times are slowed down at 200 mph? Geez, I thought he'd for sure be much more attentive doing this high speed run than driving from work in the evening.

3. Headlights dont project far enough for this speed? The highway is well lit actually...

4. High speed in a Lamborghini is significantly safer than in most other cars. Every part of the car has been designed to withstand that speed (including tires and breaks).

5. How do you know that he is an inexperienced driver?

6. No normal race track is long enough to reach this kind of speeds in street cars.

It seemed like they had a fair amount of organization but their biggest mistake was doing this with other cars present - only a couple on their side of the highway but still dangerous and invites massive amounts of criticism from people. Another mistake was making it so public. This and similar other runs might be used to promote bigger speeding penalties by soccer mom appealing politicians (OMG he nearly killed 2 people! Headline: highway massacre barely avoided!)

Now to all the whiners who say "what if...(insert possible disastrous situation here)" I say - if you constantly think in terms of "what if" then you might as well not try anything risky and live a completely boring, uneventful, generic life.

All that said, I love Lamborghinis and if someday I am able to buy my own I will certainly attempt something similar. I'll try to find a more secluded environment though.

I will just direct it towards the first one since you are a bit oblivious. His paddleshifting bullshit is amusing because all it is is a momentary contact microswitch, which you could position anywhere. Once the shift program is activated, it will shift when the conditions are reached, holding it makes no difference. But hey, slap & release the paddleshifter because it's cool! Just another surefire sign of an inexperienced racer.

With the amounts of high speed ambulances and medical helicopters that dot autobahns at fairly regular intervals (that come out of fairly high German taxes and road tolls for that purpose) makes it a slightly better chance of survival than someone where out the back of bum-hole nowhere USA where it could take ages to get help if you get unstuck.
No helmet, no burn suit, no fire extinguisher, no roll cage, no paramedics, no chute if your brakes go...
Probably with none of those it's debatable as to 'if' you'd survive anyway at that speed.
Though running up the ass of a minibus full of people going to a party or just some person coming home from work, well, they're dead too and it's remarkably selfish to the point of being homicidal.

There's salt flats with nice long stretches, organised meets and proper safety measures, along with precision timing. Yes, the little speedo in your dash is not exactly precise, it's why they're never 'official' in any capacity.

I go 110mph nearly every day. The fast lane is a serious business, no joke, unlimited lane. It's the responsibility of the driver in the fast lane to downgrade to the "almost unlimted lane if someone is creeping up on them. If i could go faster, i would, and if theresa was planning on wanting to get it from the back, well then the world goes to shit.

anyways, the video is down, so I can't really comment towards him unless he is weaving i/o like:

This is exactly what he was NOT doing. He passed, if I recall correctly, a total of two cars, none of which required any maneuver to pass. However over 200 mph is a whole different level than say 120 or similar.

if the jackass has enough money to afford a lambo, then he shouldn't have a problem finding a place where he can push the limits of his ride, within a safe and controlled environment.

p.s. this is why somebody should build a large speed ring, like the one in Wolfsburg, Germany that v-dub test their cars on.

sears point, well actually now its infineon raceway. lines are BORING. grow some driving skill!

Like this one
I'd be thinking you might break 115, maybe 120mph in a rice bolt on one with their short gear ratios

Considering the stock ones have a fuel cut out at 112mph in north America market, um no.

And considering that they are limited to 155mph stock from the factory in the north American market, not going to happen either.

All done on your x-box more like...

He can have the day off

LOL I assure you, ricegirl, that it's all true. What I've learned from e46fanatics.com, e46toronto.ca, and m3forum.com is that some stock M3s (and other stock cars, for that matter) do not have the fuel cutoff. Most of those forum members have not even tried taking their cars up that high...but two other in Toronto that have admitted to not experiencing any cut-off. I can attach the link if you like! So...the 250 km/h Canadian limit from the M3 brochure (156 mph) does not apply in my car. I think a friend of mine took a picture while we were on the circuit, so I'll happily share that too! Maybe I'll just get him to post here cuz he's a TOTA forum member. kthxbye!

Re: the Civic the only mods I had were AEM CAI, DC Sports 4-2-1 Header, Tanabe Racing Medallion full cat-back exhaust, and Eibach Pro-Kit spring. No ECU mods, but for some reason (again, similar to the BMW story) no top speed cut-off!! Maybe Formula Honda (Toronto dealership that did all my work) did something to remove it, but I never requested it.

And finally, re: the Prelude, no engine cut-off! Don't know what to tell you, but on a downhill straight (btw the Civic was also on a downhill) on the circuit, it did the same thing.

Go back to playing your video games and stop pretending, okay ricegirl? Leave the rides to us boys.

That cute lil pussy licker didn't win shit.

PS the reference to Moral was with respect to his constant rants against high speeders. So his responses wouldn't have been as loaded with self-righteous bullshit.

EDIT:
Upon review of those Lambo/Supra videos, I thought I'd add that based on the info from those forum members (whose advice I'd take over an arrogant wannabe gearhead like lilith, who evidently doesn't drive a performance car) is that cars like BMW, Audi, Porsche (not sure about Ferrari/Lambo) have speedos that can be up to 5-7% higher than the actual wheel speed. The only true measure of the car's speed would be with a satellite tracking system or with a more accurate performance car monitoring system. So I may not have even travelled as fast as the speedo was telling me in all 3 of those cars; I was just reading it off the speedo (as opposed to my TV screen )

EDIT2:
Maybe to give you the benefit of the doubt, because your Civic estimations were so outrageously low, that you didn't notice the fact that I said I had the 2000 Civic SiR (the Canadian version of the US "Si" spec, which was the 160 hp DOHC engine, one of the highest performing engines in a Civic (and most popular for current modding)). Without any of the mods, I hit a top speed of 220 km/h (138 mph) on a downhill, where it would seem that the car would not go any further (because the needle would take too long to move)...however there was never any engine cut-off.

Just out of curiousity what car do you drive, Lilith, and have you had any high-speed experience with any performance cars...or are you simply speaking out of your ass or basing your knowledge on your trolling experience of car forums?

well, I saw the video on autoblog.
didn't seem like too big a deal.
I've seen less responsible (and more fun ):

After viewing the vid, I realize that when they say, "Time to beat 211" they don't mean "time" as in "1 pm" but rather, "Now, it's time that we attempt to beat 211". lol.
