139mph in a R8? Amateur.

If he can afford the car, he can afford the tickets. Maybe he was only in 3rd gear?

If it is a manual transmission he had to have at least one gear left.

His Daddy won’t be pleased when the insurance rates go sky high. If you are 25 and have an R8, it was probably given to you.

I know that stretch of road and have had my MB C230 Sport flirting with 100 MPH there but I wouldn’t want to do more, with the hills you’re always running out of road that is visible. The Conn. state police make a big deal out of speeding and have most of the residents of the state cowed, good for this guy for just going full throttle.

139mph in a R8? Amateur. HAHAHAHAH! I was gonna say the exact same thing! I mean full-out, going downgrade on the interstate, the best my tuned GTI would hit was 136... in a 4 cylinder VW. But, gimme an R8 GT and expect me to hit 200MPH. Dream car... seriously.

I was in a “road rage” incident about four years ago between me in my 2001 chrysler 300m (with the suspension package that includes a governor at 142 mph) and a couple of guys in Jeep grand cherokees. It was also on I95 but in eastern Montana. I hit 142 to lose them but every time I backed off to 100 they eventually caught up with me again. This happened three times before I finally turned off at a small town exit. I didn’t want them to meet up with me in the middle of nowhere. I never saw them again, even after re-entering the roadway.

You cover a lot of ground at that speed.

My thoughts exactly. Must have had it at half throttle. LOL! Can’t outrun motorola. Or sprint PTT.
