Mustang going 208

[Jay159866]

This happened according to the article in OKC... unless they are different than anywhere else in the US, they use MPH.

My bad! I read this article on FB and it said it occurred in Canada.. :frusty:

It's actually "Canadian County"...Oklahoma. Lol

(seriously)

There's definitely a few strange things going on here, or maybe I'm just too skeptical:

- Trooper clocks him at 176, then at 208....

Don't you have to be within sight distance to "clock" someone? Was the trooper also going 176 - 208mph?

Also, how accurate are the radar guns? I'm sure they have to be calibrated on occasion but I've always assumed that they weren't as reliable at higher rates of speed. Not only that, but if it's using the troopers vehicle speed in it's equation for calculating the suspects speed, there's a lot of variables involved. I just don't buy it. Not saying the guy wasn't speeding, I'm sure he was, but he was probably doing like 140 at most. haha

I was thinking the same thing....How did he get "Clocked" when he left the trooper behind ???

Yes I saw that earlier. Unreal. How that kid got to 208 mph on a public road I have no idea. 19 year old kid. I mean I'll admit to driving fast on occasion but that's insane.

2011 Mustang going 208 mph?

 

[StoplightWarrior]

It was a GT - and it must be blown, etc. Or the radar gun is way off!

Merged (again)

Supposedly a "highly modded 2011 Mustang. I can see it with a supercharger and supporting mods. As far as some people saying how does an 19 y/o have a car like this.... rich parents maybe, hustles his ass off at a good job, drug dealer, who knows. I had a 95 Cobra when I was 21. Bought with my own money and heavily modified also with my own money. It made 600 H.P. to the tires with a svo sportsman block, tfs heads and intake, vortech supercharger, long tubes, and so on. I have no idea how fast it would have went in the top end but it went low 10s at 135 mph in the 1/4 mile. I had it to around 160mph a few times on a really long open stretch of road in the middle of the night. Hell I've already had my stock 350 to 160.... Just a matter of how much room he had to do it because you know it's possible to make the power. He was supposedly clocked from a helicopter, possibly no radar gun used. They time you from known points on the road or pace you....
