Answer 1

I would make sure his license got revoked for doing that. And his car seized. Thats way to dangerous and that vehicle is FAR from street legal.

Answer 2

you wearnt going 280mph the bugatti veyron has a top speed of around 250mph....its a 5 million dollar car

Answer 3

Haha dude, nice car by the way. Umm I think you can fight in court, but If everything was leagal, then no, the cops had no right on taking it. The speeding ticket, yes.  

Answer 4

Thank God they did!

Answer 5

This seems alot of bullshit.

But lets assume its not....

Yes they can take your car and do what they please with it.

My friend had an a tuned infiniti G35 with 510 HP, and they crushed it.

Sorry man.

Next time dont do 200 ;)

Answer 6

YOU HAVE PRESENTED your case, now here is my opinion. Concerning your building the car is quite good for your skill building a car like these one. NOW THE SORROWFUL mystery, why did you guys tested the car in any empty road for? You said he is a professional race driver, therefore he should test or just make his living inside a race track not on empty or isolated road.

So you just want to watch these car and what she can really do. Put it on the road at 3 am but suddenly pulled over by the highway patrol mobile.  He was charge and took him to jail and fine $30,000? Isn't that too much for a penalty? Strip him of his license and the car was dismantled. AT THESE POINT HE(your friend) never raise an issue with the judge who took him to jail and his car being stripped naked by the police officers, your friend should have filed a TRO a temporary restraining order for his car being stripped by the police who arrested him, the police has no rights whatsoever to stripped the car or dismantled it piece by piece whether it is illegal made or what is immaterial, the vehicle is the only evidence the police have why in the world would they dismantle the evidence?  They should have just junk the car in the police parking lot or warehouse for evidence, that's it but to chopped it down piece by piece is considered to be illegal on the part of the police officers, the owner can file an injunction order against the stripping of the vehicle.

You and your friend didn't have a lawyer when he was sent to jail and facilitate his case? You are lecturing us about the car speed and other thermodynamics of the vehicle, hey your friend is in jail because of these stupid car remember?!

WE DONOT NEED TO KNOW the vehicle capacity or its content or his ability to run like h**l, because right now your friends life is in h**l and in order to chew this scenario you need to organize your defense and argument in court not in HOUSTON, TEXAS NASA program about the vehicle.  

Answer 7

Yeah Ri-i-i-i-i-i-i-ght!

Congrats, you have my BullS***-o-meter pegged on "unbelievable" right now!

Grow up!  

Answer 8

280 MPH and you got pulled over by the cops?  I don't think so.

Answer 9

Yes they can by law anyone going over 90 mph on a street or highway should be tooken to jail. And wow that fast it is considered street racing even tho no one is around. Over here in CA they impound the cars and ebcuse it was a ricer car they check all of the parts. And for the most part their is restrictions to what you can and cannot do to a car. They will take some items. Sucks but its reality shouldnt be speeding anyways
