For all of you Fusion haters, last years winner of the Worlds Fastest Car Challenge, Nic Case did a speed run with his Fusion and was clocked at 130mph by a Venom speedo and Radar gun. Who says a Fusion won't see a 100mph??

I used the word outrageous because that's probably what some people were thinking when reading it, if they are not familiar with top speed cars.

or Chamo's

u cant tell me that the last run in the other video was going any faster. if it was it wasnt by much. definetly not a 50 mph differance. if it was doin 150mph you wouldnt even be able to see it on the video.

I have to defend that tbh, I'm not a fan of all this top speed stuff, but I respect what they are trying to do....anyway, my point is that with anything less than a 60fps camera, you can't judge those kinds of speeds, in aither case, 100 or 150, the car is only in one frame as it goes past. It's impossible to judge from a poor quality youtube vid. I too would like to see the actual radared run to be sure I'm seeing a 1/10th nitro car doing 130. Its a first and a record, by a LOOOOOONG way over anything that came before it. I'm not doubting, and I say well done, but some proof would be nice...
