Koenigsegg, that's not fast. This is fast!
Holy Guacamole, Batman!
I'm guessing for me to do something in the Boxster in similar time it would be 0-100-0 or maybe 0-120/130-0. That's insanity.

Whenever they want to bring that Egg out to play with the Big Boys, we will be waiting. Texas Speed Syndicate on the runways at Caddo Mills and The Texas Mile at Victoria Street cars here run 178 in the 1/4 mile. There 2400 horsepower Corvettes/Lambos etc. All the Egg could do was 240. Cars here were running 270 on the runways years ago. https://www.facebook.com/texasspeedsyndicate/videos/vb.207312505973041/972896179414666/?type=2&theater Caddo Mills This is a couple miles from my house Last edited by Borders Reivers; 11-06-2017 at 11:19 AM.. |

Respectfully that's Apples and Oranges.
Those Texas Mile-style cars are like big fake boobs, and the egg is a horny triathelete. They are all cool.

the fat guy in wigger jeans wandering around kinda killed the vibe for me. and not sure why the nomex for a runway blast.
but that is indeed scary fast.

248mph is a bit of a clip, even if it took 1.5 miles to get there. My car only does 190mph, but then again it is 23 years old.

MPH. I think I'm supposed to be able to hit 60 is about 5 flat, but I assume 120-130 would take a bit longer, and then stopping would also take some time (but not as much as stopping from nearly 250mph). And I just pulled those numbers out of thin air. Quote:

the video was clearly intended to evoke a certain emotion. my point was that they missed a bit.

Corvette guy on the freeway is crazy dangerous. He nearly looses it the second time on boost. You can see the rubber he lays down out the rearview camera, there's no way he could keep his foot in it without crashing. Pretty stupid on a public freeway with traffic all around him.
