a vid of an mitsu evo going "180" (yea right) and meeting a seagull with the windshield

[livi]

Pretty surprised bird. For about a second..

I'm surprised it didn't go through the windsheild.

My $0.42:

- Most likely, it was 180 kph, not mph.

- Q: What's the last thing that went through the bird's mind when he hit the windshield?
A: His butt!

Could have been in the UK, mph and RHD. He could very well have been going 180, not that hard in a tuned EVO, especially considering how long he was WOT.

Hmmm gut reaction says that isn't 180 mph but it is an MPH speedo, video appears to be taken at Bruntingthorpe airfield (England, hence the accents and the fact that the car is unlikely to have a kph speedo), speed is a bit deceptive there as its big and wide and has a 1 mile straight, allegedly the Evo has 500bhp so its hard to say how fast it was really going. Could be a bit of "over read" going on.

good thing that Gull came, or those would have been 2 booooooooooring video's...

[Jims5543]

That car was only doing 112 MPH in that vid? What kind of gearing does it have? I am guessing he was at redline in his top gear.

[wludavid]

I want to see footage from the other camera. And slo-mo. Definitely slo mo.

[vash]

wow, i cant believe they allowed a hand held camera in the car.

that bird vaporized! love it.

[Zef]

That gull feel bad now...!

Freaking genius, running almost 1,000 rpm over redline......
