If that were the case, then that's cool, but I doubt the unreal speeding was allowed. My main point was that there were other cars going a LOT SLOWER than the guy doing 175+. Driving by MYSELF(with no other cars in the area), I would love to try that! There must be a math major amongst someone here that can figure how much ground you cover, going in a vehicle @ 175 mph that weighs about 3,500(including 2 passengers). When you watch a NASCAR race, everybody is going at the same rate of speed, but here you mix in MUCH slower cars and you get a recipe for death. Look on the bright side, it will be really cheap to bury you, because the biggest pieces they will find will fit into an ENVELOPE!

Fun vid to watch, but since we got on the topic of "what if", an accident would've probably taken out a ton of cars. Because in the vid of one of the vettes that got passed, you could clearly see that another vette was actually right up on his tail the whole time, and a 3rd vette was only a few seconds behind them. So thats at least 3 cars that were doing 170+ in close proximity to eachother. Trying to avoid an accident ahead would probably take out at least 10 cars all going 100+.

No one's arguing that point. If you wanna do that on the turnpike and fold yourself in half that's perfectly fine with me.
Just don't put anyone else in the position that YOU can fold THEM in half too.

Valid points in your posts however don't you think that EVERYONE had their head on a swivel in case you had a few showoffs? I'm not saying this guy was right for doing 170 but I'm in a pack of performance cars driving together I'm constantly looking around me for the showoff to come flying past.

That's exactly what I do when I roll around with my friends. You have to know what's going on around you before you do anything.
