Default OT: New NY/LA record 31:04

David Maher (who I think owns a 993 turbo) and Alex Roy broke the coast to coast record last october and just releasing the details.

Some clips on youtube - these guys are the real deal (especially the co-pilot)

There is another group that appears to have done it with far less...um, preparation.

That said, score one point for "leaving absolutely F-ing nothing to chance" for the guy in the M5...good god, I'd love to get my hands on 1/3 of the law enforcement avoidance gear he had rigged up!

As a bit of chance, I only recently found this video, which is a bit of an urban legend.

Good god, the first few minutes when he's blowing through red lights? Insane...
