I saw an article on that car. Trending Topics
It looks a lot like this video.

was it just me or was he only in 5th gear? Did he still have all of 6th left? or did I miss a gear somewhere. That was a hell of a run.

I used to date a girl from a little town called Alamo about 100 miles north of Las Vegas. Theres a road race every year that goes on near there and the roads are nice and long like that. All sorts of cars compete and theres a whole series of races so I'm gonna guess hes in one of those races.

I hit 160 mph last Christmas morning. {Logged via Autotap}
And that was before the cam & tuning I just finished.
I was just thinking today, that the bird ought to be good for ~170mph now.
Going to have to find out soon!

Just my .02 cents.
