This is exactly the reason this member no longer visits this site. People's comments and opinions. Kinda sad. He was/is a cool dude.

never said he wasn't a cool dude or anything else for that matter..i don't know who he is. If comments like mine would drive a person off the site...that's weird. My comment in no way was meant to offend. Hope he stays safe and comes back to this site.
What you said is about par with what everyone else said. Kinda being a father figure to a grown man and his decisions. As if he didnt know what he was doing or didnt contemplate the risks. He was an avid track guy that knew his truck well and it's abilities. As far as him coming back. Not happening. I called him personally and he just wasnt interested to others criticism on here. I know you may not have meant anything by it rude, but it's just the idea of another person telling a grown man how and what to do. He posted the vid to show people the capabilities of his truck....not to show he was unresponsible or anything else.

If you're going to post videos of yourself doing over 120 mph passing other cars then you should expect some criticism. Take a look at the 2nd video in post 13 he blows right past another vehicle. At that speed anything could have gone wrong and he couldn't have done anything about it. What if the other van had changed lanes? Last time that van looked in his mirror the titan was probably barely visible.
at 140 mph he was covering 1/4 mile in something like 3 seconds...

Just like the other thread that's going on about the guy removing his speed limiter to get places faster... For the average trip down the interstate the minimal time savings doesn't outweigh the risk involved going 60 mph faster than the rest of the traffic. He did it and props for doing it but driving like that with other traffic involved is just asking for someone to get killed.

ah ic, thats just an ego issue. i can't tell hes an avid track guy or even know who he is over a vid he posted of his speedometer. to me he could be just a 19 y/o kid messing around and that's what it looked like to me. now i know more, i would still respond the same way. As cool as is it seeing a titan rip like his in the vid..in the end its still a huge risk regardless of his age. If he got hurt by comments people made like mine..then that's a shame. Posting on a public forum does lead to the public commenting on your post..whether its negative or positive.
if i posted a picture of me jerking off while holding a gun to a chimpanzee..you better believe i will be prepared for the responses whether i am clint eastwood with a gun or a professional monkey handler.

lol, i would never do that..chimps are awesome.
I think the dumb part of all this is a person posting openly they are breaking the law. The cops have used stuff like that to find and prosecute(sp) the person posting.
I wouldnt post myself breaking the law for sure. That would be the one thing i would be worried about, not criticism. I have the highest rated speed tires available for my truck, awesome suspension, speed limiter set at 300mph, and brakes capable of making your eyes pop out. I guess if you wanna go 140+ in a Titan that is built for it.....give me a call.

you took the words out of my mouth roy. Wasn't there a video on the internet a few years ago of a guy doing 200+ in a Ferrari or Lambo that got arrested for recklace driving because he posted his video online?I think the dumb part of all this is a person posting openly they are breaking the law.

10-4. There are several instances of criminal prosecution via web posting. It's a common place for law officials to look during their donut and coffee breaks.

ya, i have heard that too. That's crazy. you know if the OP has done track runs? i am curious to see what his 1/4 on slicks are.10-4. There are several instances of criminal prosecution via web posting. It's a common place for law officials to look during their donut and coffee breaks.
His son did most of the track runs. I am sure if you search streetfire or youtube you can find a vid or two. Just look for his screen name.
