Choppers on i10 are pointless.

A friend of mine's son accidentally passed the same cop twice on his bike.

First time he didn't pursue. Second time they did. Choppers included. The were on him at siegen. By the time he got to college the choppers couldn't keep up.

Kid is a straight A student and never in trouble. Just panicked. Sheriff had him detailing cop cars for months.

It's just a matter of time before the government steps in and limits top speeds from car manufacturers.

Good thing they are wearing protective gear. Anywhere near that speed and the frame bends and the car self destructs.

The BRPD heli can’t keep up. It tops out at 140ish. The State Police heli will outrun damn near anything you can bring.

Did anyone lese notice that the numbers on the side the video don't match the info display on the car. They claim 312 KPH in bold when at the end of the video the car is showing 309 KPH.

Probably using GPS to gauge the speed.

I'm anticipating a lot of people killing themselves in these things.

I really want one.

And, yet, owners have to drive the same speed as the rest of us. They just have the ability to point at their car and say, "On a private track, this baby can do 194 mph."

There's actually many dealers selling at sticker. There are of course, a-hole dealerships.

I remember Toyota dealerships marking up the Supra to over 70k.

They will be lucky to sell them at 50k now


@xman , its only 6.5% here

And the ability to out-accelerate just about everyone from a stop or while moving. Which comes in handy quite a bit.
