He better stay out of the left lane on 95.

That’s impressive to say the least. And the driver says he hasn’t come close to 250 before. Super ballsy. Had to be a scary ride. Doesn’t take much at that speed for things to go horribly wrong.

I think the fastest I've ever gone was about 145 over the buckman bridge at 3am..

That was in an MR2..

And the front of the car felt like it was starting to lift up.. Never again..

That's interesting. I thought Bugatti had gone over 300, but apparently that doesn't qualify because it was only in one direction.

With a 1.9 million dollar price tag, I have difficulty thinking of it as a true ''production" car.

When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.

They have to manufacture a minimum number of them to be considered production. I believe it's around 25.

FIA rules state a minimum of 25 and intended for "normal" sale. I guess with more than two thousand billionaires in the world today, a two million dollar car can be considered a normal sale.

Still one of the cheaper super cars.
