Sweet!

That would probably be about as fast as one could get away with on such a trip. Any faster and those wheels are not touching the ground.

The Mercedes average speed was 98 mph, Bolian said. Proving that American roads are able to support much higher speeds than the posted speed limit.

Sure, as long as you’re driving a car designed to run on the autobahn.

One vehicle doing that is not evidence that millions of vehicles could do the same thing.
While some people are capable of being good drivers at higher speeds, there are too many idiots on the road I would be loath to trust to do that.

Idiots kill themselves and others at 55mph, too.

Yes, but it’s harder to do. :)

Does a 240Z count?

"Average" speed was 90 mph. LOL! Those wheels weren't touching the ground at times, and I'd wager they had to throw down cases of donuts to distract any pursuing HP.

how many speeding tickets?
To: nascarnation
I believe the starting and ending points are the same used in the old Cannon Ball Runs of forty years ago.

About 30K fatalities a year in the US.

It would probably jump somewhat, if the speed was higher.

I find it a bit hard to believe you can average 98 mph across the entire country and not get pulled over by a cop.
To: Jonty30
It has actually dropped since the 55MPH blanket law was replaced and speeds of up to 75MPH are allowed on certain highways.
I understand out west there are some highways that are not marked for speed limit at all.

Heck, 30 years ago Burt Reynolds did it in about an hour and a half. I saw it in Cannonball Run.

Not bad. I once made it from Amarillo, TX to Albuquerque, NM in 2.5 hours in a 1970 Hurst-Olds 442.
To: nascarnation
Yes, very sweet.
I went from Placerville to Wyoming to a place to get real fireworks just over the state line and back in less than 24 hours 16 years ago. On 80 the whole way in a '94 Camaro. Only law enforcement I saw was going through Reno... :>)

My friend’s brother once drove from LA to our town in Michigan in the summer of 1965 in his Austin Healy in one day. We were pre-teens. We thought it was so cool. He was a big time record producer. His son grew up to be a famous singer in a band with the initials The RHCP.
