This might be a repost...

But 244 mph!?!?!?! Now the film clip is about 1:45 min long - so that means that straightaway track is over 5 miles long to get that F1 up to snuff... that's got to be a helluva rush holding on to that wheel at that speed.

old news...but still nuts.

did he go through a whole tank of gas?

 

from what the guy says his fuel light came on - wonder how much he started with?

 

wow.. talk about an adrenalin rush.. that would be intense

 

hmmmm, I'd $**** myself.... 135mph is scary enough. I can't watch the video cuz I'm at work, but just double checking to make sure.... it isn't in KMH is it?

 

old, but still legendary, the driver was actually surprised at how stable the car was at 240 mph

 

McLaren F1 clocking 244.37mph / 391kmh...

 

k, just makin sure. In my Integra I had a japanese cluster (read in kmh), so when I'd be doing 60 mph, people would look over and freak thinking I was doing 100mph, when it was actualy kilometers/hour. Yeah mostly girls. That car at 100mph was definately scarier than my Audi at 135.

 

I agree with the guy on the best car ever built part for sure.

 

damn thats fast
