Insane car by the way. Don't know what everybody is complaining about. Underrated, overrated, who gives a $hit. Atleast now you know how fast these cars are before you pull up next to one on the street.
Looks like he backed out of it at 175 for some reason. The last straightaway is easily long enough for the car this hit higher speeds. Perhaps the car was electronically limited for some reason. I did see 177 for a short bit on the video.

He certainly caught air at 6:01 into the video, that jump in the middle of the braking zone is famous (or infamous).
