That's what he gets for being a dumbass, but there is no way in hell he got to 190, not on those videos he didn't. His speedometer seems to be off, if you look at it when he is cruising along with traffic you can see that it is already pointing in the 80-90mph range (maybe he has gears :idk:). Besides, by the time you get to 160+ you are holding on to the steering wheel with both hand, sweating and not looking at your rear view mirror or your camera (or so I have heard)

here is another link to the video, the original was removed

2 hands on the wheel? There was a vid posted on the Corvette Forum of one of the members doing 200mph. They used 3 cameras. One pointing at the driver, speedo and out the window. Another pointed just out the windshield and another held by a guy on the side of the road about a mile from where the car started. At about the 190mph mark the guy driving picks up his cell phone and answers a text he just got. Car was run at the Texas mile several times so I don't think the speedo was off and he was in 6th gear and you could see the tach in the 6,000 RPM range. Also the Video was shot "On a closed road in Mexico". Thoes damn street signs looked alot like the ones in the US.

I can't believe he would post that up on YouTube and expect no trouble.

I agree with Maximum to me it does not look like he is going anywhere near 190 mph. Not even close!

What's wrong with arresting him for a video he posted? It's pretty solid evidence that he broke the law....

If somebody posted a video of himself robbing,assaulting, raping, etc., would you people be bitching if he was arrested because of it?

No actually it's not. If you were to change lanes and got rear ended by a kid going double the speed limit you would not be staying that.

years ago when I was into stunting bikes a group in Ohio called the Star Boyz all got arrested for stunting on a public highway and posting it on youtube... This was 6 or so years ago and I know Police have been arresting people based on youtube videos since.. This guy is a tool...

Invasion? Like you said, he posted it on a PUBLIC forum. He clearly stated himself he was speeding and it can clearly be seen from the videos. In my opinion, that is more than enough evidence for police to act on, and rightfully so.
