Holy....... how on earth did that cop clock him at that speed? Radar gun?? You can just imagine the guy doing a double-take of the readout can't you!

That 'vette must be tuned to some unreal level, that is a whole lot of car to get up to 200+ mph, Calloway get them to what, about 180?

Crazy stuff...

Edit, just read the list of mods - I thought you'd have to run forced induction to get a C5 up to past the double-ton... impressive! (Not sure about off the shelf P-Zero tyres at those speeds, Ferrari et al tend to get a bespoke design for their hyper performance beasts....)

I liked the result of the cops abbreviations in the "make" and "model" boxes next to each other:

"CHEV VETTE"



The only way one of these is going 205 is to push it off a very tall cliff...
