I dont understand why people feel the need to do high speed runs like that on duel carraigeways/motorways...its not very exciting, and thats the most likely place for traffic police to be waiting.

A couple of points to make,

1, Thats not a corner
2, That is never 140mph, If it was, then the white Rover was doing at least 120mph,

Maybe he will release the video and get his licence taken off him like that japenese guy with the Ferrari

Usually because their limited ability is flattered by their Impreza. They have little or no driving talent and theyre likely to post here: along the lines of "...crash tonight, thought Imprezas had good handling?..."

Any idiot can drive quickly in a relative straight line: as we keep seeing on YouTube.

Looking at the scenery going by it doesn't look anything like 140mph.
Even if it was so what?
Waste of petrol imo.

Typical yank - exaggerating like there is no tomorrow.

Car didn't seem to have a lot of power either.

Apparently he 'swears on life that was 140'.

"yet another video showing ya why 4 wheel drive ownz the road"

What a fookin cheb!!!! My old Cortina would have gone round those "corners" that fast....and it had knackered void bushes!!

The man is obviously quite a fookin cockmaster......no need for that speed at that time of day and with those cars on the road.

Thumbs down

Its D1CKS like that,that have cops watchin the roads like hawks these days!!! What was the point of that run anyway? To show an sti can go 140? So! A Lambo can go near 200 but whats the point in doing it on public roads?Lets remember though he was American,no disrespect but they dont have many conrners to compare to!

Wouldn't be that hard to find out who it is ...how many North Americans live in the West Midlands & own an Impreza?

I dont have a problem with him doing 140 (which i dont think it was!) on that particular stretch of public highway as such (no juctions) ...what i do have a problem with, is doing it whilst there's other traffic on there! ...& then filming it! ...& then posting it!

Thats ok, when i was over in the US, i clocked 190mph on a hyabusa. Twas in the desert, with nowt around for miles though, except rattlesnakes haha. But you are all right, there is a time and a place for that kind of stupid stuff and some people don't know when to quit.

Just like to add that just cause he is American does'nt make him any more/less of a turd than some of the idiots over here ive seen driving around.

Peace....out
