2017 GT350 now gone to a great home.
He didn't look like he was passing anyone at those speeds claimed. Either that or they were all going 120

The speeds he is reading are pretty far off.

Unless he has 3.31s in it, which is unlikely, the car doesn't do 110 in 3rd, he doesn't shift out of 4th before saying 160, and it definitely doesn't do 190 in 5th.

I think he is FOS on the mph.
3rd does actually top out at 109/110, but he is full of it on the rest of the gears.

Hmmm. That's interesting, my logs on track only show a top speed of 106 for 3rd gear on the short straight.

Maybe I'm not crushing the limiter hard enough lol.

Some will say there’s no such thing as bad publicity..

How much is he making off the video right now...
Not enough to pay his bail. I can tell you that much.

I hope you’re right!

There’s something wrong if ANY money can be made when committing illegal acts...

Dude is a convicted felon and they found firearms in his house.

Apparently that's a class D, and he could be looking at 10 years and a $250,000 fine.

It takes a special kind of stupid to pull the video stunt.

But it takes an even more special level of stupid to be a felon hoarding firearms and pulling said video stunt.

What was he convicted of?

Everyone has firearms at thier house (unless you live in MA, NJ, NY, CA).

I think he was lying about his speed and he may or may not be able to be convicted of a lie to promote YouTube views and subscribers.

Convicted felons can't own firearms or have them in there possession (most states if not all). I'm sure they easily connected that they were his.

What an idiot.
When I bought my car, my wife had one rule: "Don't drive like a douchbag/" Apparently, his wife didn't have the same rule!
Then its your fault for taking your wife off the market.

It'll probably be sitting at the nearest CarMax soon. He'll have fines and legal fees to pay...
