Watch How Calm 250 MPH Looks From The Passenger Seat
Watch How Calm 250 MPH Looks From The Passenger Seat-March 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:35

Driving a car at . It looks like hyperspace. It looks like death blurring your vision. Things look different from the passenger seat, a view that we may have never had before.

This was shot from a BADD GT, the fastest street car in the world.

There are many ways to measure the fastest car in the world, and running to over 283 miles an hour…

And it was shot, unsurprisingly, at NASA’s three-mile straightaway, where owner/operator Johnny Bohmer set his last (extremely rad) record.

How did you memorialize setting a new world record for Fastest Standing Mile in a street car at…

Bohmer is shooting for 300 miles an hour, and got this passenger ride video from one of his attempt runs, as he explained:

Bohmer was planning to achieve speeds in the 290 MPH range, but due to heavy cross winds (25 MPH Gusts) he was unable to achieve that goal. However while in car testing, Bohmer realized no one has ever gone over 250 MPH in a street legal car with a passenger. “I believe this is surely a first for the automotive community, and a new world record,” Bohmer said.

Take a watch at the video below:

Bohmer looks completely on edge. The engineer beside him? Totally calm and focused. Maybe 250 mph isn’t so bad.
