Police Officer Hits 143 MPH in Dodge Charger While Chasing Drunk McLaren 720S Driver







 
A few weeks ago I had a new VW GTI or maybe it was an R flying on the HWY. Seemed like he was going 150 mph. Whew! Then a few exits later I get off the hwy and pull along side the driver. Car had dealer plates on it but this was around 9 pm on a Friday night. Maybe a salesman taking it home. Young guy with eyes that looked HUGE prob from the rush. I was kind of ticked off and was glaring right at him but he wouldn't look over.
 
I don't see why this made news. Even in my 115 horsepower Jetta, I have done 120mph. A V8 better be able to go faster than my Jetta!

I crested 150mph just the other day...

I'm wondering which is more impressive, 150 in your Porsche or 2 weeks ago I got my Jeep up to 100!

I'm guessing the 911 but the Phaeton might be able to do that as well.

edit: Here's a VW Phaeton doing 167 mph on youtube:

Another video on there has the V10 version doing 280 km = 174 mph.

My Phaeton won't do it. NAR models were limited to 130 mph - the Brembo option was not available.

Hey, my Jeep is a highly sophisticated machine! It's got 1 airbag! At least my face will be saved when the rest of the Jeep crumbles around me into a tin can.

I had one in Germany. On the Autobahn - pucker factor 5.

Haha, could be looking at the wrong part of the speedo.

I have been a bit over 160 mph in my sig car, but not without careful prep and 2 spotters on a desolate stretch of a toll road near here. Stock limiter kicks in at about 171-173 mph and the car will easily go 180 if you have enough road...

Can't say I haven't been there done that but young people do stupid things sometimes. But I didn't do it drunk. But then I didn't just go 155. Blue lights in the distance and fading fast.
