The article said he had to average 90 MPH.
Once your west of Chicago, you should be home free, with large swaths of highway. Utah should be a joke. Once west of the rockies. Its flat. So that's where you would probably be making up for some serious time loss from the east. A BMW like what he had would be doing 120-135 MPH west of the Rockies, easily.
The only catch to the whole project is: 'smokies' and cameras. The guy clearly did his research, hiring a guy from the Transportation Department to give him maps of overpasses, lane widths, etc.. I wouldn't be surprised if he told him where law enforcement cameras were installed.
We're talking 30 years after the movies 'Cannonball Run' and 'Smokey and the Bandit.' The spirit is still the same: SPEED.
I found this
You tube Video of what he actually installed in the car. Its a shame Uniden can't legally be the sponsor for his car :-)
The smartest thing he did was the strobe lights.... That was impressive. You'll immediately think its an undercover cop car and get out of the way.
This other
You tube video shows the guy clearly has gonads the size of Texas. 120 MPH is sleet rain next to trucks on the highway near Chicago. It reminds me of a quote from a retired jetfighter pilot: "There's old pilots. There's bold pilots. But there are no old bold pilots."
