That was the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
What the hell is he all excited for? Big deal...
I hope he gets wedged under a truck somewhere.
Oh yeah... My 80 year old Arthritic Grandmother can shift better than that.

It sounded like he was double clutching. Either that or the worst shifter ev3r. That didn't look like 145 to me but who knows. You know the speedo is off at the higher speeds any who. Please don't do that sh!t on a 2 lane ppl. At least go the the expressway if you're going to do it.

YA i learned my lesson going an even 100 on the 2 lane. Needless to say I hit a hill(jump) and got 1 foot from an oncoming sunfire. Me and my friend are still to this day jokingly asking if...."ARE WE REALLY SITTING HERE TALKING TO EACH OTHER?"....."ARE WE ACTUALLY DRIVING THE CAR HOME?"

#1. Doing that is very stupid
#2. If any of you believe he was going 145 you are a f-ing idiot. Try going 120 even and see how much room you have on a 2 lane road. He's lying through his teeth.
#3. Why does he pull the camera up at the end of the run?
#4. You guys need a refresher w/ getaway from stockholm with the Supra TT and Escort Cosworth. The were actually doing around 145 - 150 in the movie, and believe me they were going a hell of a lot faster than this guy in his civic.
#5. Ties in with number one. How stupid do you have to be to do anything over lets say - what you can handle - if you hit the shoulder on a old two lane road, most likely its loose or old. You're dead brotha.

Maybe he's trying to show the decal on the windshield. You know how those people are...

i dont think thats the camera that lifted up, he probably has a huge ricer wing on the back and all the downforce is causing his front end to lift up off the ground. ROFL!

#1 i agree with you completely #2 it is very possible...not sure about the CIVIC Si... i was a passenger in the 2002 Anniversary Edition Trans Am, and she pulled it to 147mph on Route 1 (2 lanes where we were)... i havent talked to her since... i wanted to f*@cking kill her, i got out of the car at the red lite and called my boys to pick me up
