Ok...I don't get it - it looked to me like you were in front of him the whole time...?

Man the audio on that clip gives me a woody! Your car sounds outstanding!

Maybe that video wasn't taken from Argetni's car?

I mean that car was yellow.

I loathe making personal attacks but...

You guys are all selfish a-holes.

There is no way in hell that going that fast on the highway is safe. A blow out, someone swerving in your lane (yes, traffic was thin but you clearly fly right past other drivers) or something like that would have been a recipe for disaster.

I have have a mind to send this link to the NJ state troopers.

My wifes family all lives within a few minutes of Bergen County and frankly, I'm scared of them sharing the roads with you tools.

Da Hapa,

I'm not sure why you're reacting so violently to this particular post...I read a half-dozen or more just like it every week - and that's just on THIS site.

A blow-out, or someone swerving into your line can be fatal at any speed - is it more likely to be serious at 150mph than 55mph? Depends on who's driving, I guess.

Anytime you step out your front door - you're taking your life into your own hands - whether it's fate in the form of a sniper or in the form of someone carelessly driving their car.

Please get off your high-horse - and take a second look at the site you're on? We're people that enjoy driving a car the way it was meant to be driven - and trust me, we value our own safety just like you value yours and your kids'.

I can't vouch for anyone else but myself, but I don't take unreasonable risks in a car, so please keep your insults to your self.

N8R -

He just wants you to be safe. Don't get DaHapa started on seat belts etc... that's just his vibe - Kind of a 2nd mom kind of thing. Think of it as someone who loves you and doesn't want any harm to come to you.

It's all good...

p.s. statistically - it's more dangerous to take a shower than it is to go 180mph on the street. More peeps die in the shower than on the street from the last numbers that I read....

I just wish I had a vehicle that could go 180 - my personal top speed is 165 on an FZR 1000. No seat belts were worn in that adventure. No animals were harmed and one helmet was worn.

358rwhp? Dayum!!! Honestly - I'd probably be dead with a vehicle that powerful...
