I had the same experience at Nashville. I, too, was insulted at the difference in actual vs posted speed. I get it. They can’t let untrained people drive an unlimited race car. But some of us can and have some experience and can handle higher speeds. I enjoyed my experience but would have liked to have gone faster. I never got close to the handling limits on my car.

It is when you have a tune and a Mopar pull up beside you growling

It's just a sport mode. They call it pursuit mode here.

Honestly, I’d rather take my personal vehicle around the track than one of theirs. Would be more fun, and faster than their rev limited speed.

Hi Mike, there a Ford 2016 Interceptor in our country (Kurdistan-Iraq). I liked it because I had a Ford Expl and I like strong vehicles. I searched the VIN websites for it, but none gave the image of the vehicle to check for damages. They even gave different info (one says 3 seat rows, another says 2 rows, one says 3.5 engine, another says 3.7..etc). I searched the web and found that it has three versions (Basic, XLT..etc.). How can I know which version it is? I couldn't even find the user manual (pdf) on the web. Its owner says it has three places repaired, one is the front half of the front hood. The owner wants $15,000 which is about 1000-3000 down the price of Explorer 2013.

and all those digital modes you mentioned sound like a 1980s video game! I'll stick to FM and SSB!

I have been thinking about doing this over the years. Now I’m not a Winston cup champion but have raced go karts competitively. Won championships at local track as well as state. Ran ucar division afew years so I would expect the experience to be worth spending over 3,000. I know you can’t set a track record in these cars but would be very disappointed going 120 mph at a mile and a half track. I saw one video of a guy hitting his marks at these low speeds and the car just broke loose out of nowhere. Again. I know you’re not going to have a fresh set of sticker tires on the car. But these tires were basically junk that a late model driver would dismount and trash. I think before doing this experience I’d buy a grand stock car and go racing at a local short track every Friday night. Ty for showing us the inside scoop they don’t want us to know

Man…why can’t you just enjoy the experience of driving a cool stock car on a racetrack? I don’t think you would’ve been even able to handle going 160mph. I know I probably couldn’t. I would be happy going 100mph in a stock car. I want to try this!

I've gone faster on a snowmobile

Isn't this just using the 'sport' mode on the transmission? Can furtherly use manual mode to shift the gears as you want also ?

You could've made a channel all on retiered units.

My crown Vic is better

Awesome video! Ignore the haters. Thank you man!

I'm looking at a 2017 which has all the charging ports.

Love that idea …. 2:05 - strategic living

What’s up Mike! You’re my hero!

Wow you have a lot of cool Toys!!!!! You’re my hero!!!!

I just did the Nascar Experience at Richmond and i did not like the new format , they said 6 to 10 laps for 8 minutes . Liked it better when i did the Richard Petty at Charlotte , then it was by laps and had a follow car .

Top speed of my BMW E46 M3 11 since 2009 is around 175 mph. I've had that car going pretty damn fast at Sebring race track during high speed Driving Experience several times. I think the NASCAR Experience might be anti-climatic if they're limiting you that much these days

The straightaway at Talladega is almost a mile long at 4,000 ft. That's where I would like to do my NASCAR Experience if they offer it there anymore. I don't know. They did years ago. They had students who were trusted enough and allowed to actually Hit That 160 mph speed. These days you probably have to bribe somebody to make that happen

The only track where at least you used to be able to go pretty fast and I don't know about these days but 10 to 15 years ago the track where you should actually reach 160 mph was Talladega. Much longer track much longer straight away and they gave some of the students more leeway. I'm sure all that's disappeared now unfortunately

There are dozens of apps available for your phone to measure your top speed and average speed using your phone. Even if your phone is under clothing it will still work.

It is a felony to have red and blue flashing lights and or a siren on your vehicle. It is a felony to impersonate a cop in any way shape or form and for good reason. That's why they always remove the markings, lights, and siren.

It’s kinda a waste isn’t it

Why don’t you pin my comments???? Dumbass……

You are stupid!!! The first thing you complained about was how uncomfortable the car was… it’s a freaking race car…. Then you complained about how fast you went…. You’re the dummy who was scared to shift into the 4th gear…….

You are a WHINEY ass baby....oooooooh, you had a bad experience per you, so screw them, huh? SHUT UP.....

Do you offer a Conversion service for those of us without the Tools or Eyesight to be able to do it ourselves ?

cool video, thanks for making it, but it only convinced me to try this is when I get a chance.

Complaining about the smell of gasoline in a race car? Well then I've never thought gasoline is something you would encounter in a race car.

Like everything else in the world one big ripoff...honestly not even surprised-all they want is your money and try to sell you add-ons. Once you said 1100 dollars for 3- 8min sessions forget about it.

Unless you get a real deal, why not just buy a civilian version?? I have had a few used police vehicles, but only because I got them cheap at auction.

How do you get ur turn singlas to stay on ? On the civlian model ID like to do it cuz it looks cool plz respond to me

Even on the newest openrtx firmware to volume is almost too low to hear!!

Whaaaaa...Whaaaaa. Whaaaa. Call the whambulance.

Stick to you desk job. ! Racing is not for you!

Good work, Question: do you happen to know where the cigarette lighter fuse are located, I have 2 one blown & I don't have a fuse panel

I'm a bit creeped out now... I just moved ~2.5hrs away from where I was on the East coast. Making a few trips back and forth instead of hiring movers. I used my CVPI to tow a Uhaul 5x8. I still think I should just have bought a trailer outright. Would love to see more about your to-do list screen as well. I've been on a mix of MS Planner and Todoist as of late.

I'm barely 5 minutes in and I can't help but be enamored by the dedication for thoughtful design. From your workspace to the indirect lighting addition in your former studio... I'm bookmarking this for inspiration and to revisit when I build out my 'forever home.' Thanks for sharing!

When are we installing the towers? Need to get some HF antennas up.

I have some Mt. Ord video waiting to be edited.

Nice to see you back. What did you use the Interceptor for?

I like the dark blue color

Is this even a real man? “It smells terrible. Smells like gasoline”. I’m a track engineer for a NASCAR race team, and every so often I get to be the one to run a car up and down our team property (at normal speeds), but damn every time I get a whiff of the gasoline smell at startup…..BEAUTIFUL.

I got same car - 2013 model 3.7L. I wish it was 3.5ecoboost. I really want a camera in rear. and keyless entry. My horn also doesnt work. Besides that super great truck. Shit MPG though when running E85 - *8mpg combined.

Thanks for the info, picking up my 2017 FPIU next week, loved my 2014 ecoboost sedan but this will be my first suv

There's no way they going to let random people with no driving experience get in a car that can go 160 mph. Your probably doing 120 tops. Anyone who's driven a road car that fast on the highway can watch this and see that

7 years later and this still helped me, thank you for the video! i'm looking for all the information i can on these vehicles and you were very informative!

My lovely wife bought me the driving experience in my home state at Kentucky Speedway and loved every second of it. A few years later she got me a ride along, loved it as well. We are fans dude….not professional drivers. You went in with a negative attitude from the start, stop bitching and whining about everything and enjoy the experience.

smelled like gas and seat was uncomfortable 😂 I have never had a comfy race seat in any of my race cars.
