19 YR Old In Custody - Doing 208 MPH in Mustang
Yeah, I'm gonna call bull **** on this story. Someone at the highway patrol is fibbing. 208 MPH, on a public road, with a 19 yr old driving, at night, with the headlights off? Yeah. I'm gonna need to see this Mustang.

Maybe his radar gun was off, and the police were chasing him? If he was going 208 he'd be flying and gone. Something isnt adding up. That would take some serious HP to get to 200. I recall the 650ish HP Shelby could do 200....just saying.

I am calling shenanigans! He would have to put a couple of turbos or a supercharger and mess with aerodynamics, maybe gearing to get that top speed. However, this is a funny article.

Puzzle solved -- Radar gun was recently purchased through Royal Canadian Police Website and was calibrated in Kilometers. Driver was actually only doing about 126 mph, but that is still too fast for the Judge in ..........drum roll, Canadian County , Oklahoma!!!
