Looks like once he started going uphill it started losing speed slightly.

They should find out who made this video and put them in jail so the moron doesn't kill my kids (or someone elses) some day.

Well it was recorded in TN on interstate 75. Yes that was stupid to pass other cars at that speed. It also was a auto trans car.

And I need to go that fast because?

Just plain dumb!

If you want to do that, go where it is safe....Texas Mile, Silver State Classic for just a few places....but not on a road where other drivers won't even see you coming.....just a wild animal coming out onto the highway from a disaster.......driver swerves into his lane to avoid the animal and he can truly say I never say that car.....the car going 200 is covering a football field in 1 second.....

Going downhill is cheating, doing that on a public road is criminal. Pure stupidity.

Nice road, we have roads like this in upstate NY, no cars just have to watch for animals. I just wouldn't post anything like this.
