Default Cops Let Hennessey Corvette Blast Down Texas Toll Road




I just want to know how fast it went. The last time Hennessey did this, they got a twin-turbo CTS-V up to 220 mph. I'm guessing this one isn't quite as powerful (yet), but I wouldn't be suprised if it were capable of hitting 200.

The video's on instagram, so I've put it on the blog. Check it out here. Let me know what you think.

Quite a few. As far as driving fast? I drove the sh130 a few weeks ago. And i must say the temptation to tear up some road is always there. But the other part of you says theres a state trooper hiding around here waiting to hit you with "instant on" the moment your breaking triple digits!

That's awesome! It's hard enough getting to do the speed limit with the traffic in metro Atlanta! Would love to be able to stretch it out!

Slaterdump, the state of TX actually invited us out while the road was still under construction before it was open.
