350z crash at 200+ mph



This was at the Nevada Open Road Challenge. You'll need the latest Divx to view I think.

I have to admit, I wouldn't have the ***** to drive a car @ 340 kph on the street (closed, but still a street)

it wasnt at the nevada open road challenge it was at the silver state classic... although essentially they are the same... the guy had a tire blow out at about 215 mph(or there abouts) anyways the driver walked away after flipping what he said was 6 times... how he counted I dont know maybe he went... sand sky sand sky sand sky sand sky sand sky sand sky....

You need to download a video codec called DivX.

Ya I guess the actual crash was around 240 km/h. I think he was doing close to 350 km/h when the tire blew.

Can the evo go 200 mph? I know top speed is 152, but w/mods will it bump up or do you have to change internals? Sorry for newb Q
