Looks like fun to me, but I have just a bit of skeptisism.

At the beginning of the video, the speedo says just under 120, but it doesn't appear that he is passing that truck very fast. Is that truck doing 90? And then at the end, the speedo says almost 190, but again when he passes the car (which we assume is going 70), it just doesn't look like he's actually going that fast.

Especially with the powertrain that is in that particular car (FRPP347). Takes a lot of HP to hit 200.

It may be just the video, but I think a speedo-gear calibration might be in order...
