Nah..... Not enough noise for a car going 200 mph, much less camera shake and vibration. The noise of 200mph air going past the windows and top would be quite substantial as would the road noise from the tires.

Also it sounds like vehicles are PASSING this car. Lastly, the cop's siren is getting CLOSER when you are logging 200 mph. I don't think there are many, if any, cop cars that will exceed 200 mph.

In the still shot at the beginning, it shows around 195 mph with the tach registering over 7,000 rpm. A bone stock C5 just can't get past the rev limiter.

So, what's the "rest of the story"?
