From what I've read. It basically boiled down to see if the New 85mph Toll Road in texas would read MPH in the triple digits accurately in order to dish out fines.

From the looks of it. It end up being a day of fun before opening the new road LOL

^^^ Correct. Hennessey gets to have some fun and show off the V. The toll road people get some nice pub.
At 220 the fire suit and helmet might allow for an open casket.

Just read in the morning paper that when it got dark two hogs and a deer were hit.

Yeah, they were allowed by the DPS to see if their speed cameras could read the license plates properly + good publication for the newly opened toll road.



and to answer the question the cameras still get a nice shot of your LP even when you're doing 188mph (which is how fast the CTS-v was going when this shot was taken)
