Simply the most amazing video I have ever seen

Ferrari 275 GTB driven by Formula 1 driver through Paris at 140MPH (video)

Default I'm very skeptical . . .

Count the gear changes and view the closing speeds vs. other cars, for example. And the almost identical squealing noises at each chicane, with no evidence of camera angle changing beyond what a car negotiating the turn at low speeds would show.

Google this and you'll see it's likely a hoax. Oh, and BTW, that's 140 KILOMETERS per hour, not MPH. And rumor has it the filming was done from a Mercedes traveling at fairly reasonable speeds and the Ferrari noises were later dubbed.

As they say in journalism school, if ya mother says she loves ya, check your facts -- twice.

Default Agreed. If he is doing 140Mph and the other cars in the same direction are doing ~30

He should be flying past them alot faster then that.
