The story concludes: Wallace also noted one interesting side effect from the record setting. "I spent the next week after doing the run driving around really slowly and being quite happy; I was doing 10 or 15 mph under the speed limit everywhere."

I feel like a song...

Now the boys all thought that I’d lost my sense
Those telephone poles were like a picket fence
They said “Slow down, I see spots!”
The lines on the road just looked like dots

Took a corner, side swiped a truck
Crossed my fingers just for luck
My fenders was clicking the guard rail post
The guy beside me was white as a ghost

All of the sudden she started knocking
Down in the dips she started rocking
I looked in the mirror. Red lights were blinking
The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln

The arrested me and they put me in jail
Called my pappy to throw my bail
And he said “Son, you’re going to drive me to drinkin’
If you don’t stop driving that Hot Rod Lincoln”

JUST REMEMBER.... the GLOBALISTS who can afford a car like this are the ones who keep telling us that we must give them billions so they can deal with CLIMATE CHANGE.

If this one is like its slower, older sibling, the Veyron, the tires will need to be replaced, the brakes redone and the front machineguns recalibrated. No need to redo the ejection seat, just lowering the passenger window kills with the wind shear!

If you have to ask about the fuel consumption, insurance or operational cost, you are not whom they are marketing this car to! As for me, it scares the daylights out of me if one is on the road within a 500 mile radius! WOW!

But it's not an official record. Why? Because it was modified quite a bit from "stock," unlike the Koenigsegg Agera RS, which was time at just under 278 mph in "stock" form.

How do you know ahead of time that the route you are taking in such a low rider does not have any speed bumps?

Damn, mang, did the pilot of that thing need a post-flight physical?

That is cool. But at the risk of gushing for Hollywood, for me, nothing beats the start of the race in The Gumball Rally when it comes to the roar of engines and the visual accompaniment.
