The kid brags about running 12s in the 1/4 in that car...any car that is running 12s isn't coming close to 208. Another is I have a buddy that is part of the Mustang club and track racing scene here. He has an 2011 Shelby gt500 that has been modded up to 760hp. He isn't sniffing 200 with that (he hit 184 on the Texas mile strip). Yet another reason is the entire stretch that this took place is a curve. So the hypo wants us to believe that this kid shot up from 84 (initial radar clocked speed) to 176, to 208 on a freaking curve...rrriiiigggghhhhtttt.
I could go on poking holes in the hypos story, but you guys get it and it looks like no one is buying it anyways. If the kid has a competent lawyer he'll get off with some fines and the felony endangerment will be tossed out.

I totally agree with what you are saying, but, if you have a car that's capable of topping 200mph it's not going to run the 1/4 mile very well. You can have 1,500hp but if it's geared for drag racing you will just get to you limit really fast.
