Default 202.5 mph Standing Mile Run in my 1000+ Rwhp Turbo Camaro - Video inside!

Hey Guys, I posted this in the FI section, but I know a lot of you don't browse through here much...

I recently did the Mojave Mile last weekend, which is a standing mile race out here in California. It is just like the Texas Mile. I was able to do a best of 202.5 mph! It has been a goal of mine for quite a while to break 200, and I'm so excited I finally did!

Another cool accomplishment, I beat a 2012 Bugatti Veyron that Car & Driver Magazine brought, which did a best of 201.3 mph!! They interviewed me and I will be mentioned in the magazine, as well as a video interview on their website!

Im now the youngest member of the Mojave Mile 200mph club. Im curious if Im one of the youngest in the country too..? Im only 23. Can anyone verify?

Heres the Video. You can watch it in HD if you click the link:

i think since I've done it a few times now it wasn't that bad. My nervousness was about the same as you get right before you take off on a roller coaster. So not too bad.

Sweet Grate Job can u post info on the event please
I'v had my old 84 Z28 up to 155 back in IL & it was rock stedy
& my 2000 SS up to, well sweeping 140 & still poling, until my lit bro hit his brakes in front of me... there was a chp 3 cars up :/ that was bone stock with 37k on it.
Iv never pushed it since. lol Exept one time saw 2 Hondas wiping threw traffic behind me on the 10, I let 1 go by then i pold out buzzed him @ 130 before the 2ed could catch up. i wasn't going to do the same so i slowed back downe in with the nex buch of cars & let him pass . think he poped it trying to catch me, when Honda #2 went to pass he slammed on his brakes becuse we had just passed Honda #1 on the side of the road with smoke bellowing out of it
