This claim was a BS run. Constantly says he did a "solo" run then says "WE" in multiple statements. Video shows camera video of difference scenes (while might not be of actual run). Says he had no equipment yet says he had a scanner. 159 or 69 miles per hour on a rental car. Don't rental cars have governers in them to prevent "wreck less driving" speeds. Shows pictures of guys. How did those other guys keep up. They would need the same set up to keep up with this mustang. I call a bullshit story. He has the smirk of a habitual liar. He believes his own lies. No proof..never happened. Good story though. 👏

If true... and it may well be ...it's impressive. Very impressive. In 1967 driving a 67 427 435 hp Vette with a 3.36 rear end I went from Steamboat Springs Colo to Menlo Park Calif in 8 hrs 20 minutes. There was quite a bit of mountain driving and at high speed the Vette got MAYBE around 8mpg. With a 20 gal tank there were as I recall around 6 fuel stops. Top end on the Vette was right around 153mph with the 3.36 gear. I did outrun a Utah patrolman around 40 miles from the Nevada border and make it into Nevada .The car was on the original supposedly premium factory red line tires. Which weren't much of a tire. Anyway I regarded that as pretty fast at that time. Years later driving a Porsche 928 in 1983 I went from Las Vegas to Los Angeles in 2 hrs 15 minutes. I came in the back way thru the desert . Both times I recall being wrung out at the end of the drive. The combination of driving the car in triple digits and watching for police produces a fair amount of tension. I find 25 to 26 hours solo at triple digits monumental for a solo driver. He's right about wearing the tires out at sustained high speed . On the Steamboat to Menlo run I started with about 3000 miles on the factory tires. The morning after my arrival I noticed all 4 tires were nearly bald and had to be immediately replaced. Of c ourselves now cars are enormously more capable as witness a midrange rental Mustang with a 159mph top end. And superior braking handling and modern Z rated radial tires. This guy's planning and prep was pretty impressive. .I especially liked his choice of a relatively pedestrian white car. For some reason white cars going fast don't attract nearly as much unfavorable attention as red orange yellow or black cars. And a whie 4 door sedan is best of all in 2006 I had a white E55 with Renntech mods. The car was fast. I could and did regularly cruise at around 90 mph on the way to Las Vegas and after hitting the Nevada state libe increase to 140. Did this multiple times. Never got stopped. By contrast in the mid 80s I had a red Ferrari Testarossa. Got a ticket outside of Palm S I rings for 58mph in a 55 zone. Cops are basically big game hunters at heart. They absolutely LOVE tagging a bright colored red high performance car. White sedans.... nah.

Everybody sees those pictures of WW2 guys with those awesome haircuts and they think I want that and rightly so because those haircuts are awesome. The thing is though you have to be able to fade to get a cut like that, and apparently from what I've read it requires a razor to do properly and nowadays normal hair cutters aren't allowed to fade with a razor or something? Either way, it doesn't happen anymore. Now they just use the buzzers at one setting all the way up, and then cut the hair on top with scissors with zero attempt at fading in between and it makes it look like either you want attention or just bad compared to those old awesome fade cuts. It's a plague in modern society just like wearing suits that are too tight and pull with a giant X shape on the chest to the button. I get it it's the style of the time but guess what, wearing clothes that fit you properly will always override the "style of the time".

My time was 9:54 in an 91 CRX HF but with a Z1 head and Y8 manifold, header, exhaust, intake, chipped and tuned PS9 obd0 ecu with one wire vtec. at full tilt with a dx trans i topped out at 140-150ish speedo not great. it had HX wheels on nittos. gsr front breaks and sway bars and a ton of rust. this was back in 08 when i was returning back to post at Keesler AFB. I averaged 35-40 miles per gal. So 37 times 11 gal 407 miles per tank plus another civic tank in the back to feed the primary so 814 total mile range. Fun times will do again. PS. only one short stop for 5 gals to finish. Cost to do this 1k car gas and mods. the sold the car for 5500 a week later.

I did Nashua to Mentone down the East Coast of Australia in under 18 hours in an '89 Nissan Pulsar w no mods. Fuel stops werw like an F1 pitstop. Couldn't put my arms down for hours after getting home. Kept rising to the steering wheel position by themselves. The good old days before highway patrol.

eventually someone will get a chase plane with good optics to scout while someone drives flat out at 200+ mph. after that the nonstop refuel will come then the 100 mph refuel. the future is bright

Very impressive Run, I recently did California to Michigan on Interstate 15 and then interstate 70, I left Irvine California at around 11 pm and I was in Salina, Utah around 4:45 AM. I dunno what my average was but I was definitely in 5th gear at 3k-3300 most of the way.. There must’ve been some sort of important thing happening in Nevada cause I had a group of cars with government plates tailgate me through the desert at 110 trying to pass me in the middle of the night. Volvo S40 2.4 NA, stock, averaged 27 mpg from OC to Detroit and got there in 34 (travel time including fuel and food stops, total time was like 43 hours I slept every night except one.) covid rally for love, moved out here for my girlfriend.

13:40 As an engineer; I gotta wonder how a laser "jammer" would work. To do so, I'd have to speculate on how a laser speed gun would work (sorry, don't know much about them): given the speed of light is a constant, firing a laser at a target and measuring how long it takes to return would give you distance from you. Therefore, at least two pulses would be needed to measure the difference and calculate speed. Ok. 2 data points work, more would be better, but a bit moot at this point. So to defeat them, you can do at least one of two things: either make the object non-reflective (a bit like some of radar stealth, but with light, which is just electromagnetic waves too....some of you know where I'm going with this ;) ) and that would require the military budget of large nation in east Asia, or return a BUNCH of lasers in the same wavelength with random return times to confuse the gun as to which is the one it sent. OK, good, we've got something. But we have one other problem: detecting WHEN a laser has been fired at you. You'd need optical sensors ALL OVER the vehicle. So, maybe constantly firing out lasers at random intervals in the same wavelength as the gun? 99.99999% of the energy you expend would be wasted, but you have a fairly good chance of "solving the problem" (of being detected). Not going to be 100% just due to simple geometry. Unless you're turning your car into one of those laser measurement scanners used to quickly digitize an object into a CAD file, and even then distance is going to be an issue (as well as the "resolution" of the laser emitters ie how closely one can even space them to try to minimize the geometric angles). So we have a geometric limitation. OK, as long as we know that, that's fine. A physical (as in physics) guarantee would be impossible, but it might help under the right conditions, so why not? I'm sure the laser manufactures have thought of this. I'm also sure many depts. don't have the money to upgrade to the latest counter-countermeasures all the time, but eventually. The manufactures would probably counter by sending the first pulse and second pulse (and every subsequent) at different frequencies, cuz it's trivial to filter out everything except the frequency you really want (IIRC, that's the idea behind a band pass filter). Because this is long enough already, I won't go into detail of the next counter steps (from either side) and we'll just assume the jammer now randomly fires off all possible frequencies in every direction in the hopes of matching the frequency that the laser gun had used for this test cuz at this point the laser gun is probably using frequency hopping across every band above gamma rays and the only way to counter it would be to strap so many sensors and laser emitters to your car that the Air Force scrambles fighters to shoot down the UFO doing 100mph+ (based on visual sighting) approx. 6" off the ground... I wonder what would happen if you tried going the first route and painted your car in vanta black?

As I understand it, they broadcasts radiation of the same wavelength (or known laser rangefinder frequencies) using leds or something to confuse the sensors by drowning out the returning signal

@@occamsrazor1285 yes basically, but you Woodbridge need to detect anything and respond, you just constantly broadcast. There's not a whole lot of power sent downrange by the laser gun and likewise you don't need a whole lot of power to be sent uprange to confuse the sensors
