Another video posted by a yahoo:




Probably not worth posting. Lots of incorrect info, bad camera work, etc. :rolleyes:

Videos like this really make me appreciate the work of place like Out Of Spec.

I didn't watch the entire video, but I wonder if the speed limiter is based on GPS vs. wheel speed? If the road surface (Salt Flats) cause a lot of wheel spin but not a lot of speed.

If there's zero resistance (lets say on dyno rollers without any drag/friction), it may be possible to spin the wheels faster than the stated limit.

I've been on a dyno where the wheels accelerated (cable speedo) to 120mph in seconds because there was zero resistance. Of course in the real world, there's weight, drag, friction, etc etc.

Just a guess.

The caption said 150 but it kind of sounded like he actually said 115 which would be what I would expect.
