Damn, that's awesome.. That'd be my dream to have the chance to do that. I've been 180+mph on a street bike before and that was pretty awesome. Can't imagine 253mph.. Only thing I've ever been faster in was a private Jet. Got pics of the showing us doing 647mph in a Gulfstream G4.

That was such a great episode. Heck, so was the first one. I'm just generally excited about the new season. And that segment is wonderfully done...the music, the camera work...it really makes me like that car just a little bit more. It's slowly growing on me, although things like it's complicated 10 intercoolers are a bit of a turnoff. It's just TOO over the top (engineering wise), crazy as that sounds.

who has season 9 and where can I get them?? I need a TG Fix.

That's amazing how stable that car was at that speed.
The koenigsegg is freaking fast, but you feel like you're going to die when you get it up above 200 (from what I can tell from the show)

I have no words. That car is about 99% as impressive as God to me.

Ah, he was going the wrong way on the track. Impressive none the less.

hahah.. 250 Kph maybe.. lol.. On a serious note. It's gearing would allow for those speeds, but the car would die much over 190mph.. I'd need some serious downforce and proper suspension for those speeds. My LS trans with a 26" tire at 9500 rpm. Would be right at 242mph.. lol.. Do the math..

.714:1 5th gear.
4.26 final drive
9500rpms

We were doing about 600 mph in the Westwind I the other day. When Ron flew to Cleveland 2 weeks ago, they had to slow down as they were overtaking a 737.:stare2:

hahah... private Jet's are awesome.. Not stop flight from Smyrna, tn to St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands only took 3 hours and 10mins.. We were traveling around 38-41,000 feet.. Got down to -77*F when we where at 41,000 feet.. Just looked back through the pics and our top speed was 653mph.. That'll get you where you wanna go.. lol..
