Sort of like a video of someone going 45 MPH and then fast forwarding 4x?

Does Red Bull just have carte blanche to do whatever they want, whereever they want, whenever they want to do it?

Play the national anthem using an F1 car on the beach? No problem!
Clear out all the traffic and drive the Lincoln Tunnel at 190mph? Sure!
Construct a couple ramps and put them on barges in a marina and then race through the streets to jump the gap? Awesome!

I want that driver's license.

Going straight is so much fun!! The real mystique is to make a car corner well. We have running joke at the sprint car races when someone has a strong engine we say it 'handles good on the straightaways'.

/obviously not a drag racer

The really amazing part: He managed to drop the fare into the coin box without even slowing down.

Never did 190mph, but on two occassions did some high speed (illegal) runs. Bayside Bridge, Pinellas County FL, 5/20/94 3;00 am, two way average of 153 in a 1994 Z/28 Camaro. 6/10/04 2:00am two way average 178 in a 2003 Z06 Corvette. Now very content doing a an average of 41 mph in a 1936 GMC 1/2 ton truck.

No, of course not. What Red Bull has is gobs of money, and good promotions staff glad-handing the officials who give out the permits they need.

I'd like to see them do the right lane of the Cross-Bronx at a steady 45 mph, end to end, without throwing an axle.

That bridge is bumpy as hell. You crazy.

Made it from Tropicana Field to Westchase in 16 minutes once. ONCE.

Your right the northbound lane is a bit bumpy before the rise on the bridge, you have to clear that before hammering down.

If my last few business trips to NYC were any indication, you'd be lucky to do 19.0 mph through the Lincoln Tunnel.

No matter what time of day or night they filmed this, you can guarantee there is a mile long line of cars waiting just out of the camera's focus

Subby - These cars can do at least 250 with that long of a straight. 190 is nothing for them.
