on the way back from the le mans 24 hour race in june 2007, I did folkestone to cardiff in 2 hrs 10 mins - including one fuel stop (on my VFR).

this was between half one - half three in the morning mind - on dry empty motorways.

that said, there's a big difference between that sort of speed on a wide open road, and 140 mph in a thirty zone (which does seem a little implausable).

at the end of the day, if you can afford a vehicle capable of accellerating to a ton-forty in a thirty zone, you can afford to do trackdays! no excuses.

it'll be prison food for that dude, no doubt about it.
