>> Rest assure that Rob is a very safe driver I ride with him all the time.
lol yea rite! no-one is safe at 219mph come on

I can't believe you posting that shit online, it wouldn't be hard for the cops to figure out who you are from this board and I think 219mph you could do time.

oh yea did you do the speed on GPS? speedo is usualy out a bit right
my GPS reads about 107 when my speedo says 120
i mean KM's of course :o)

Very foolish to do that shit on a public road.

I live in Florida and there are plenty of places to do 85 on the way to work here. Hell when I used to have a job every morning on the way to work the average speed of traffic was 75-80mph.

In fact the last ticket I got which was about 3 -4 years ago I was doing 90+ mph when I first bought my 4 Door Toyota Tacoma. I passed a cop on the side of the road and saw him start after me, so I just pulled off the road before he even turned his lights on. He ended up giving me a ticket for 78mph because I pulled over so easy.

That was on the way home from work when I did the daily grind.

There is a reason why NASCAR uses lights on their tracks.

The difference is that a mistake on your part may result in some trauma for the train driver and cleanup crew, rather than ending the lives of (potentially) several people instantly.

Driving at that speed on a public road that hasn't been closed is fucking nuts.

I see pussy's.

And even then it's not usually the drivers who see it, it's the officials out there with flags.

Damn,that was flying..impressive

i love it..

everyone pushes their car to the max when they can..once he hit 140, whats 220..its all just as unsafe. im jealous.

I have an sl55 now but havent been able to open that one up yet..some day..

BTW rob you did beat the record.

These guys only did 208 on a track.
You just might be the first guy to do this.

Did ya do any mods?

I am still downloading the video, but I am surprised no one has said something about the fact that he was doing this at night in the dark. :2 cents:

Guess you did not read the entire thread. :2 cents:

"There is a reason why NASCAR uses lights on their tracks."

Unless I needed to draw a picture.

there is a lot of sand in a lot of vaginas in this thread...

i'm not going to lie. i have gone over 100 a couple times, but it was when i was younger and stupid. growing older has made me (a little) smarter, and now i take into account the effects my actions could have on others.

the track is the proper place to go fast, and i promise you, it is much more exhilerating pushing your car into turn 7 at break neck speeds than it is to go fast on the street.

very cool video... Safe or unsafe.. nothing happened. driver seems to have a head on his shoulders.

downloading video :)

Lewis Hamilton doesn't go out and party, drink or smoke either, and he is one of the best drivers in the world... I bet you won't find him out in his Mc Laren F1 car trying to beat records.

Its not about him being a safe driver Lia, my mum always told me that it wasn't my own driving I had to watch, it was the other road users!

Rob is a big boy, I'm sure he makes his own choices in life like he did to do that speed. Thats up to him.

Love? Someone is very reckless and we are supposed to give love. Professional race car drivers die in controlled environments and thats all they do for a living. Actually if you know and like this person why would you give love for them putting their life at risk or worse the life of someone not trying to look cool.

Unfortunately while driving, your choices often interact with other people lives. What would you say if some guy doing 200mph took out your wife and kids on their way home?

I can't say I'm blameless as I speed from time to time but nothing like that, even if I had a car that would go that fast. It's completely irresponsible to do that on a public highway. It's one thing to speed if the traffic flow is also speeding but doing 200mph on a public road should lead to an instant license revoking.

Something else that's pretty dumb on his part is even posting this on the net. It's the same as videotaping yourself robing a house and tossing it on youtube.

I used to race so I'm a speed addict, but you won't see me doing shit like that on public roads. Keep that shit on the track where it belongs.

thats on a track

if your talking street

dont forget about that nice stretch of high way located in germany

do yourself a favor... keep the sports cars for picking up babes and keep the racing on the track.

Join http://www.scca.com build yourself a real race car and go racing.

Gee, I must be the only one that noticed that the entire stretch of road was closed.. You see it on the sign, "CLOSED" & you see the orange barrels blocking the on ramps.

Why were there other cars then?

I noticed that too, but then you watch on, and there's traffic, and I believe he says 'keep an eye on the other cars' ?

I watched it with the sound off so didn't notice the voice & only watched minute or so of the short clip

As I recall, there was only one "off-ramp" that was closed.

I saw it already like 1 week ago!!! And the bluelights

I was going to post this also, at those speeds the speedo is off by quite a bit :winkwink:

The road was open, they had to do several attempts because traffic got in the way.

I saw this the other day on liveleak.com. Not very smart posting it all over the internet - license tag and all. Your basically asking for trouble. Very unthoughtful putting all those lives at risk.

Rob should adopt me

I take my Porsche and bike up to speeds close to that all the time, but never, ever on the street, get that shit on track man, it is not cool what you are doing.

:1orglaugh

Ohh sorry it's a new video! Just download and watch it --- Fantastic!

I really do feel sorry for our kids. They are growing up in a society where they aren't allowed to have any fun at all. It's like "don't run with scissors times ten". You have to wear helmets on your bicyle, and heaven forbid if you go over 100mph.

What a bunch of fucking pussies.

Anyone doing 219mph in public must be compensating for something.

i agree. When i read the replies of most people here they would be afraid to drive on the german autobahns.... when its calm the left lane is for the porsches etc. with an average speed of 250km/h lol...

I would piss in my pants going that fastttttttttttttttt

Has anyone in your family even been killed because of an irresponsible driver? When or if that ever happens, I'd be willing to bet you might have a different attitude.

You're full of shit, there is no way you can bore out anything .60 over!

That is over a half inch! I think you mean .060" :2 cents:

Which in performance terms of making more horsepower is pretty insignificant.

For example a small block 350 cubic inch Chevy bored .060" over stock would give you almost 360 cubic inches, whoopee.

Fuck it, you only live once. Ride it like you stole it!

how is he an irresponsible driver?

this is an irresponsible driver
(but trust me he knows how to drive)

A FUCKEN MEN

You don't know the difference between 219 MPH and 250 KM/h?

Or the difference between a highway set up for those speeds ands one that isn't?

Sometimes you aren't very smart.

yes i know the difference mr smarty pants. I said "average" speed.
about the road he was on i dont know i didnt watch the vid, but any road where you can safely drive 350km/h (=220mp/h) is good for those speeds.
You people need to lighten up.

I figure its the jagermeister talking. lol

isn't this recording yourself committing a crime? I don't really care if you do this personally, but what would stop a cop from knocking on your door and arresting you for this? I know they couldn't do it for a minor crime, but 219, that in most states is a felony, or they could get you for Wreckless endangerment + something really creative if a judge really wanted to get you.

Just a thought..... if your not in the us nevermind this, but you said the first one in the USA...
