If you've got the money for a Lamborghini, I think you have the money to not drive it LITERALLY past my freeway exit.

The first run is south on the San Tan 202 freeway in Gilbert Arizona, starting from Elliot, which is North of the distinctively closed Hawes (not on map) exit, and letting off just after my exit (Power Road).

The second run is back north and east, starting from before Val Vista, and ending after Power on the same freeway, and the final run ("I'm going 170 in this turn") is back south on the 202 again from Elliot, passing my exit at the 200 mph point.

The owner of the vehicle (and likely creator of the video, based on the '205mph.com' credit) is Robert Simiar, owner of ftvgirls.com.

http://www.wealthstore.com/?p=39

The whois.net information for 205mph.com matches Robert Simiar, and he gave an ftvgirls.com email contact. ftvgirls.com in contact information lists the owner as R. Simiar, at the same address as provided for the 205mph site.

This was just posted two days ago. The 205mph site is now password protected, but if you check the wayback machine, ( http://web.archive.org/web/200708171...ww.205mph.com/ ) you can see that it used to be an open archive of freeway racing videos.

So, is this just a case of Nimby on my part, that he could have easily turned my wife into spaghetti sauce (we have an odd schedule, so drive on that freeway at all times of the day and night) or does everyone else just think it's neat that he has a fast car and the 'balls' to use it around a blind curve?

I'm debating going out right now to take pictures of all the signs in the videos, it wouldn't take me more than 10 minutes to all three of the major ones and come back and upload pictures.

"214, could have gone even further if it wasn't for this car in front of us."

Then at the end of the video, he encourages viewers to "try to beat it." What a jackass. Take it to the autobahn, Baron von Porno.

No doubt the car is cool. Goody goody goody for him. But he is a douche bag of epic proportions for his use of it on a public road.

If I recall, other douche bags have had videos akin to this used to bring up charges or citations.

At least he had his pants on, right?

Very cool. And so what if he did it on a public road. Didn't kill anyone, so it's all good as far as I'm concerned.

Oh! He didn't kill anyone? Douchetastic then!

Uh... that's a lot like saying I can run down the sidewalk and shoot randomly with a M-60 machine gun... as long as I don't hit anybody. Say what?

I would have pegged him for an idiot for being willing to spend so much money on a car, but that's just me.

Bingo! *gets into his $13k 4WD pickup*

No, that'd be a noise violation, too.

I have to agree, this 'record' isn't impressive at all. Hopefully he crashes off a cliff before he kills someone else.

I bet you'd think differently if you got hit by a car going that fast while you were on the freeway.

Okay, like a 572-hp, 6.5-liter V-12 car delivering 487 pound-feet of torque at over 200mph isn't a noise violation.

It's a freeway. Noise comes with the territory.

In my younger, and stupider days, I did a few high-speed runs that involved 160-170mph blasts down open freeway. Looking back, I realize how rediculously dumb that was. The reaction time to ANYTHING in the road, or running onto the road, is nonexistant. And the chances of overreacting to anything you see, and totally losing control, is terribly high.

I can only imagine going 20% faster than I was going......

Are we all just jealous that he is a pornstar?

(I am)

bermuDa

If I read the original post correctly, he's a pornographer, not a pornstar

so as long as we are firing machine guns on the freeway, then we're golden?

if you cant understand why doing something like that is criminally stupid, then perhaps you should step out of the gene pool.

cadre

He's not a porn star he is the pornographer though. And he makes damn good money at it too. Makes me think I should go into porn....

Anywho, I heard about this as I too live in Az, but my reaction wasn't as negative as all of you.

He's rich, he can do whatever he wants. Welcome to America (or rather, Scottsdale)

I could have sworn all those videos were removed when it hit the news. Oh yeah, and as far as I've heard, he won't be charged, but as I said, he's rich so even if he is I bet he'll get out of it.

The video was down so I couldn't watch it. I hope the next time his car skids out and he slams into a barrier doing that 200+mph, now that would be funny.

What an asshole.

Lakerman

hahah fuckin Rob man.. I swear, that guy is nuts when it comes to cars. He just bought a Bugatti Veyron too. Must be nice to pull $50k/day. :-/

pan6467

So (God forbid... worst case scenario) he hits one of your family members, you going to support him then?

You going to say Then????

Probably not, you'll sue his ass off.... but according to you So by that statement right there, if I were his lawyer I'd say you pretty much gave him permission to do whatever he wants.

no such thing as bad publicity.
probably raked in even more money after that hit the web.
he's still an asshole for doing that tho.....
