damn that GT has some topend. i am surprised that there was only one or two close calls.

What a bunch of whiney pussies you are all turning out to be...

You guys all rave about Gumball, Bullrun, Playersrun etc... yet when you actually what high speed freeway driving is all about... you start whining like babies.

Typical I guess...

You mean to tell me you've never taken your 500hp sports through traffic like that?

Oh yeah - thats right - you can't do this shit with a Civic...

So, do you condone weaving through traffic at high speeds?

Don't you?

Everytime you watch a GumballRally you condone it.

I don't watch the Gumball, and I don't agree with it, and never have: it's organise lawbreaking. There's a difference between driving faster than the speedlimit and weaving through traffic.

Ha ha,

Thats Camilo Pardo in the Ford GT ( He was part of the team that created the Ford GT, and he's curently a transportation designer at Ford)

Got to meet him few time, and ussually see his white Ford GT parked on the streets here in Downtown.

holy fucking sweet batman!

I drive these roads ALL the time; and can atest to how safe it is now, with the repaved surfaces, stopping distances, and cornering abilities are top notch on I94.

The forienger was the only one taking the "real" risk IMO.. not knowing the roads really hurts your "escape" routs in case of ensuing danger.

The GT did one abs breaking point; and still had plenty of room.... you begin to appreciate how amazing that car is once you experience it in the hands of a Factory driver..... really, performance cars ARENT like normal cars, they are in fact, safer to drive; due to the higher limits on all sides.

also... i can't say i havent blasted over 100 through those sames roads through that similar traffic.... just not 150

. I haven't done it under a chasing circumstance.

BTW, i have photos of that specific Ford GT, and its' owner

he's shorter in person

he is also quite reserved

Yeah, the road on 94 is perfect , and that area is never ocupied with cops since there are concrete dividers on both sides.

Driving at 120MPH on an open highway is very different from doing the same speed on a busy road, and weaving across 2 or 3 lanes: the latter is much riskier to all involved. It doesn't matter whether it's a Ford GT and Z06 doing it or a Trabant and Lada.
