IMO, as I've stated earlier, I think this whole thing is a fraud. You just don't go 200mph on a public highway with traffic. Those that think you can, clearly don't know just how fast 200 mph is. If you don't believe me, watch this. He reaches 200 mph at about 5:50 into the video. I'm sure it's a repost, but for those that haven't seen it.................

I don't think it did 198mph. 476 is not enough power. The main enemy at that speed is the wind and you have to overpower it with HP.

Also what tires is he running to get to that speed? And I doubt a Genesis is equipped with the aerodynamics to go that fast. Also only a madman does 200 mph runs at night. I don't even see HIDs. He is not passing cars fast enough.


Trust, I love the Genesis coupe but that is hard for me to believe.

200mph is so fast most here would **** on themselves IN A CAR.

No way it did that much given the aerodynamics and horsepower.
