I'm sure the bird has bones...I thought it would go through the windshield also.

i think the evo was modified...you can hear the blow off valve at the beginning.... i think 180mph has to be near the redline unless they changed the gearing...

Here's the vid from the hand held, and you can see the speedo....is it 180mph or 180kph? Either way, that's a "holly sh*t" in my book.

looks more like 180 KM to me

it just does not look like that kind of speed judging the stripes on the runway etc etc

180 Kmh is about 112 Mph granted that car should not be redlining at that speed but it just does not look like 180 MPH....


to me

to me
you can tell in the 2nd vid that he is going 180mph. not to mention, that is an aftermarket turbo Evo; if it only got up to 112 in that amount of time then something is horribly wrong.

short: its 180mph
