For some reason I find this whole thing very humorous....and the repsonses. I almost think it is a fake, would someone really come on here and brag about going that fast with one hand and no seat belt...and calling the speedometer a "thingy"?

The few posts mentioning the lack of seatbelt is pretty funny, he's just as dead if he crashes at that speed with the belt off as he is with it on.

Of course where is this guy now, why isn't he defending himself? It is probably some guy driving the Autobahn in Germany and that is why it is in KM/H! But seriously, keep it on the track buddy. - Jay Gratton

It looks real. You can watch the lights that he's going under flicker on the top of the dashboard. That would take a lot of effort for someone to think about to fake it.

It also looks really crazy to me. NOOO WAYYYY I'd ever try that with one hand. And I'd always have my seatbelt on. Yes, if you actually crash, it probably wouldn't do you any good, but if having my seatbelt on and both hands on the wheel would keep me in control enough to stop my car and get out in one piece, then it would have been worth it. Too dangerous. Don't even try that on a track. Get a rollbar and mount the camera.

I am sorry but if I were going to drive 200+, I would not do it at night, drive with one hand, drive with no seatbelt (small chance it may help), and have music on (so I can hear the car and have no distractions). I believe if he crashed and died, he would win the Darwin Award they issue every year.

The guy lives in Kuwait. Dont think anyone was on the road at that time in the morning.....I am not saying the guy has all his screws tight, but here is food for thought. I am sure that everyone here at some time or another has driven their car in a way that would upset johny law. If you say no, your a big fat greek liar. Just like a bunch of hypocrytical liberal christians. If the shoe fits..wear it.

These cars were made to be driven. Even if I owned a mint 2.7 RS I would not only drive it every day I could, but I would bang every gear doing it.

I will at least agree that listening to that crap music instead of the flatsix has got to be one of the dumbest things he did.

You forgot "And I wouldn't post something on Rennlist like this and brag about it!"

Exactly! You don't THINK there was someone on the road, but it's not a 100 percent guarantee. The problem with WhiteTT is that he was doing a "Dont think" when he did this stunt!

Sorry, but 300+ kph on public roads is way beyond reckless driving, no matter what part of the world you live in.

Wow, another one that doesn't deserve a car like that.
