Either way the guy was going in excess of 125mph on public roads. Not much time to react!

If my math is correct, that's approximately 183 feet per second.

It looks as if he was doing 131mph at the point of impact!....the driver must have hit the brakes before impact...meaning he was probably travelling even faster than 131mph?

definitely makes you think!!

It's not the speed as I've been a lot faster. It's how you decelerate that counts!!! And maybe what you use to stop with.

Um, I used to do of 130+ on public roads every day on my way to school untill I got a speeding ticket. Its not that hard to go fast lol, especially when you have the 55k motor. But this should definitely be a reminder to all of us that drive like this. Its only a matter of time before something happens, whether it happens to us or someone else. Think it over next time you want to do over 4x the speed limit.
