I'm betting a few of you have seen this. Regardless, I laughed my ass off.

I take it you haven't gotten to the part where he explains that his tatoos and buff body intimidates the cops so that they don't give him tickets - but that the tats are all temporary because he has to get a job.

apparently its fully staged - no, got no linkage to back it up (other than other people saying its staged), just throwing that in there. Apparently the DJ is doing both voices...

I have no doubt its staged. There just aren't that many recessive mutated genes available.

But its still funny as shit.

The funny thing is that the irocs had right around 200hp for most if not all models. My benz 300te wagon has that much power. This guy is either trying to make it funny or is simply an imbred retard.

About 220HP here.

But he's sure his has 270 b/c he can get it up to 90mph. lol

I won't mention that I had a 2.2L pickup that went 100mph down the highway. One would hope a 5.7 V8 would do a bit better.

Yeah, lol. I can go 180km/h with my 2000 Mazda Protege, so that's about 115mph , and that has a 4 cylinder engine.

I routinely cruise 125mph in the benz at midnight coming home from work.

Killernoodle:
1. 125 mph equals 200 km/h. In case we live on the same continent You´ve just convinced me to stay at home around midnight and *not* get out on the roads facing the risk to meet You.
2. What kind of a job do You have? Going home at midnight...?

I work at a grocery store as a cashier (18 and reckless ) and the highway going home is very flat, smooth, straight, abandoned, and most important police free at midnight

I figure they do it on the autobahn all the time, so there is no big deal as long as there is nobody on it.

I never figured out how fast it *can* go because the stretch of highway ends before it tops out completely. I can get it up to 5000 rpms in 4th gear before I have to decelerate, so I think I can get it up to 130-135.

Parents' car?

I just heard the IROC thing. WOW, didn't anyone on that show know that the stealth bomber actually
1. ABSORBS radar
2. Has offset flat body surfaces so that the radar that is not absorbed gets reflected back at an angle away from the source?

I need to race that guy. And I have a 2000 Toyota Echo. It's 108HP. 40mpg though

My car

And the B2 uses quite a different strategy. Chances are that radar stations are not directly below the craft when in flight, but are usually at more of a horizontal angle instead. By eliminating any vertical parts of the plane to reflect radar back, it is nearly impossible to see. Plus it is coated with a radar absorbing substance.
