I think we need a special drivers license with plate for additional $100 per year that allows you to drive in the left lane at up to 100mph. I would definitely invest in that. Keep the regular plate guys out my lane.

Sure, its not an autobahn no-limit setup, but it'll recoup deficit for sure. LOL

Solid idea! Would be even better in Seattle to scare the crap out of all the Prius's!

Those cars were ridiculous, I was at my cousin's who owns land right along that stretch of the toll, and you could hear those cars for miles especially the camaro I bet you could hear it from at least 2-3 miles no joke

am I the only one who thinks 220 is kinda slow? I mean awesome car, no doubt, but the veyron is 1200hp and hits 260+ so 220? I realize the car difference but 230? 240? I expected more for 1200 ponies.

Definitely just you, and he said if he went a mile more he would have hit 230 easily. And where as the CTS-V is just a regular street car the Venom is not.
