(***trigger warning - Subaru content***)
:lol:

Thought you guys may enjoy this if you haven't seen it elsewhere before, its an STi racing around on a hot lap with some very interesting commentary as well as data from inside the car. I can't imagine what it takes to drive a car at those speeds around there, truly incredible :-O

Agreed. The top speed is pretty rocking. What impressed me, is the amount of times getting down to the low speed and then back up to that 170.
I kept and eye on his heart rate 148ish Max. Now that is a professional driver. I think mine would be that high just climbing in and hitting the ignition.

Still warming up the tires at 142mph...

Confidence might be an understatement!

That makes his brother's record up Mt Washington seem somewhat tame in comparison!
