i dont remember where i was, but they were discussing this video and were saying that it seemed like it was on a dyno because of how smooth the ride was and such.

It did seem pretty smooth.. But they claim it was done on a runway so that might be the reason.

I'd say to time it and compare to 150 mph according to some actual road test results. If it were actually on a dyno, then the run would complete much more quickly (no aerodynamic drag). I think that video is the real deal.
