Posse of Ferraris suspected in dangerous driving case

[rage2]

Don't get me wrong, I'd do it too. In fact, I've done tons of top speed runs years ago. I just didn't brag about it by slapping my face in the video, or having the speedo filmed while doing it.

Hide as much detail as possible haha.

Pictures of them selves - check
Proof of their speed via speedo & GPS - check
Pictures of their license plates - check
Video of them driving, with speedo, in the car while duing 250 K/PH - check

Yeah, but then again, when you watch the video, that stretch of road is out in the middle of nowhere and it really is totally empty.

except for some oncoming traffic you see flash by and those roads are dotted with acreages within commuting distance of Calgary..

Ya, problem is the cops know about that road now, and it was never closed, that's why the RCMP is investigating and will probably lay charges now that it's such a public story. There's tons of things that are identifyable in that video, even tho the guy editing the video blurred out the roadsigns.

Hey, at least ZR is getting tons of free press lol.

I can''t wait to find where they are doing there next speed run and pass them all in the TT G35.
I never understood why they would post any video with visible plates and pics of the speedo.
There was a video of a lambo in toronto doing almost 300K, He posted the video and was charged with dangerous driving etc.
Stupid regardless of your stealership Driving like that is for the track. Why not take your 5 cars to the states for a closed track day?

[Evro]

the yellow gallardo is my neighbours, i love seein him and the zr guys driving ferraris and lambo's like they should be driven, even when its like raining and shit and im thinkin meh i dun wanna get the teg dirty and i hear the gallardo come screamin down the street.

I do agree with rage though, im not too sure about the video's with faces speedo's etc, seems too showy to me

in either case good for them, they have nice cars and enjoy them ... especially when the cops arent around

Because there's not enough road to do a top speed run . Public roads are the only place you can get anywhere near top speed, since it takes about 3.5kms for an Enzo to reach 320km/h, and that's not top speed either. To hit top speed you'd need a good 5km stretch with lots of room to slow down hehe.

Race City's front straight is only 0.5 miles long. There's much safer (and better) roads in Montana to do top speed runs IMO. You can literally drive for 10 mins at top speed with no acerages, farms, traffic, or any other human being in Montana. Plus the roads are a lot smoother, and in the off chance that you do get busted, it's pretty much only a fine .

It's a bit more than a ticket. "Dangerous driving" is a criminal charge.

[max_boost]

So what's it like going 300km/h in a high end exotic?

Does it feel safe? I imagine you want to do it on a pretty smooth road

I believe he's referring to getting caught in Montana, not here.

From the looks of the video, it looks pretty uneventful lol.

Watch Zahir from 5:40-6:20 in TOMS SC's posted vid link. You can see in his breathing how exhilerating and adrenaline rushing it is to go that fast.


I wouldn't know. I have only been a passenger at 210.

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Wringing out your supercar on an empty road: Fine.

Videotaping yourself doing it and plastering it all over the internet: Stupid.

[racin_jayson]

A helicopter pilot i work with was flying an astar at 230km/hr ground speed and saw a car on the highway below pulling away on him near banff must have been one of these yahoos.
