Comments are funny, but the driver of the car is a freaking idiot.

I didn't see anything indicating speed . . . was there an overlap or HUD shot I missed?
Thought the cars were electronically limited - -hard to imagine how he got that fast in such a short distance . . .
Regardless - - -a moron.

it's highly possible, when he's getting onto the highway he's in 4th and the top of that gear is about 150mph and he's in 5th for about 10 seconds... and it is definitely not stock

He wouldn't have made it that far around here.
Around here that first merging car would have hopped over immediately to the passing lane without signalling and woulda been a big wreck!

Just my $0.02 worth.....
Is the guy in the video going fast? Yes, he is, as he clearly zips past the other cars, who are probably going 65 MPH. But look at how fast the trees, etc, on the shoulder are going through the camera's view. I would think that at 190 MPH, it would be nothing but a blur, but it isn't.
This video reminds me of the one from about 15-20 years ago, that they dredge up on old episodes of 'Cops', every once in a while, where they're chasing the dark colored C-4, way out in the desert, until the driver loses it, and clips the rear end of a tractor-trailer, and crashes off the side of the road....then runs away from the car!!
The narrator of the video says the Corvette is going 165 MPH.....and if it indeed was, it should be FLYING past those trucks, but it really isn't.....so unless the trucks are going 120 MPH, which I doubt, the 'Vette wasn't going 165.
I think the same thing about the posted video.
