  • enough cars go more than 200 mph

  • Gotta hand it to the yanks, they do things big!

  • TOP GEAR REFERENCE!!!! YAY TOP GEAR!!!

  • @OneTrueLloyd Hahahahaha, I thought the same exact thing! Love Top Gear =)

  • @OneTrueLloyd i remember watching the actual episode of top gear adam was referring to

  • So I need to buy a Bugatti Veyron to cheat $500 bucks of a speeding ticket? hmmm...

  • i just thught 200 and 300 you guys are pathetic.

    i then saw mph and went for convert. got these numbers instead

    320 and 480, and got shocked

  • car show in uk

    top gear??

  • "the wheels are besides the point"

    "its basically an engine with a chair"

    hahaha they crack me up

  • In case you get the police on your tail, you just flick on both smoke and re-heat, and you'll be frying cops like mashmellows...! B-)

  • some car show in the UK? pff.

  • I had a carbon fiber bike frame (don't jump to conclusions, I'm not rich and it was a junker and put together from scraps from a salvage title) and aluminum for the forks and shocks, but cops never clocked me on it, and those little roadside speed warning signs never showed anything from me. I never even tripped the traffic light sensors in the city. I guess the only thing that would've been radar reflective would've been the engine and the headlight reflectors. Lasers were a different story.

  • baseball bat to the speed camera?

  • The thing that bugs me about Mythbusters is how un-thorough they are. Rather than incremental tests to establish accurate thresholds, they stop once they get a positive result regardless of the gap between that test and the last one.

  • Isnt that the car Richard Hammond smashed?

  • They don't need a rocket powere car to do over 200. The good old fashioned top fuel V8 does over 300 in the 1/4 mile

  • not driving around with after burners? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

  • TOP GEAR!!!!!

  • 0:22 Top Gear.

  • What the heck? They said it was busted? The myth was that pure speed can beat a speed camera. And they beat it. And they called it busted. That's why I hate this show. They don't care about science. Or even the results they get.

  • @DavidUmstattd they said its busted because without a get engine a normal car cant beat the speedometer. but as people have said what about the Bugatti?

  • Bugatti Veyron can go 251 mph, so it can be done road legally

  • @jamespellis2 yeah dude, just ask Mr. Chrysler ME Four Twelve

  • @jamespellis2 The SSC Ultimate Areo can do 255 mph and has a smaller engine. American made

  • @mormanman13 However, the Veyron Super Sport took out the SSC with a speed of 267mph

  • road legal? cos I'm sure they aren't that relaxed in the US

  • i can get no speeding ticket With my feet

  • bugatti veyron + speed + camera = no speeding ticket

  • they should re-visit this now with the fastest road legal car to see what happens

  • THAT'S NO ROCKET! THAT'S A TURBINE ENGINE!!

  • I was watching this, then I paused to go into the kitchen right before they showed the car, and while I was there, I was thinking 'But, the only way they could completely beat a speed camera is if they strapped a rocket to the back of a race car.'

    Then I came back, pressed play, and a few seconds later, my mind was blown. :P

  • hang on thats not completely right here...the car that beat the speed cameras in the UK was a TVR Tuscan S if i recall correctly and that monster has a top speed of 167mph so him saying that it was 180 is just not right, false facts...

  • @Thor2233

    the car was a Mercedes AMG 65

  • @DeArmeStudent where do u get ure info from mate? it even has a video of it on youtube....

  • @DeArmeStudent

    if you mean what top gear used to beat it it was the TVR Tuscan S.

    and they did it around 17*mph adam must have rounded it up.

  • @Thor2233 it was 180 mph; it was done by UK BBC's Top Gear show

    the fact is right

    that one is also on youtube, u can search it

  • Comment removed

  • 1:09-1:10... hmm i just had that idea of it suddenly start blasting out flames and ... well u know

  • therefore always drive you're Bugattis at top speed and you'll never get a ticket

  • that thing is beutyful (thats what she said)

  • where do we get a car that is faster then 200mph

    Ans: buggati veyron, pagani zonda, ferrari f485

  • All scam cams are fraud, no ticket for noone.. Just don't speed

  • where do we get a car that goes over 200 miles per hous how about a top fuel dragster!!!

  • The question remains whether it can be done with a normal vehicle. Instead of 'their camera' they should have investigated what kind of cameras are being sold to the police for these kind of devices, and the triggering mechanisms they use and then test it under 1) Lone Vehicle situation 2) Multi-vehicle situation. Many devices, like radar guns, have trouble distinguishing the speed of multiple vehicles, especially when different vehicles are passing thru the same test point.

  • @unquietsoul Now that could be your research paper for college. Really, let's leave this one-hour, two-months-to-make episode you're talking about for some other group of guys wanting to find their place on the tube.

  • @392redienhcs Sorry but my college days are way behind me. I tend to believe that they could, with the level of popularity of the show and public exposure they have had that they can easily have gotten some cooperation with their local law enforcement or law enforcement supply store in regards to the equipment that is used. The Test concepts I presented are basic and easy to set up.

  • TOP GEAR IS THE BEST

  • James May "Captain Slow" would be proud.

  • I know i want for xmas

    A super car

  • Bugatti Veyron anyone? :p

  • @DDDewd zonda, mercilargo, hell doesn't mazerati. but yes the veyron.

  • @DDDewd oh, and get the stig to drive it.

  • @DDDewd Keep in mind the Veyron wasnt really there in 2007 ;)

  • @bondsrocksmysocks veyrons have been around sinve 2003 so bammmmm bitch

  • @DDDewd took the words out of my mouth.

  • @DDDewd if you didnt understand it yet...THIS CAR IS POWERED BY A JET ENGIN!!

  • @panagiotis123454 If you didn't understand yet, New Veyron will go 269 MPH if given long enough. AND Its street legal.

  • @DDDewd you still wont reach that speed on normal roads. and that jetcar has a higher topspeed than the veyron ss anyway.

  • @DDDewd

    That car takes alot more track to reach above 200 and this car is better for tv

  • @DDDewd YES! I agree. the 1001 H.p w-16 Bugatti Veyron. Awesome Idea!

  • @DDDewd

    make that a supersports

  • @DDDewd Well, that would be fun, but Top Gear beat a speed camera at about 170mph, so you could just get something a lot cheaper =)

  • @DDDewd SSC Tuatara

  • they should have used shockwave the jet truck

  • "It is extremely easy to beat this type of ticket in court. Your easiest defense is to simply throw the ticket away. If it does not come with a return receipt that requires a signature, there is no proof that you actually got the ticket." -Norman G. Fernandez, attorney, free ebook: How to Beat a Speeding Ticket, chapter Photo RADAR. Watch Modern Marvels: The Autobahn on History Channel to see how to drive a LEGAL 212 mph on a busy public highway.

  • that driver is stigs brother from the states

  • 400km/h... so.. if you have a car with the power of a veyron ~ 1000 ponies, with teh right long enough gearing, you can beat one... lol

  • @flinchey yeah! at the expense of about 300G...

  • they could always use the bugatti veyron

  • im sick of this show always cheating with their myths, use a street legal car, not a freaking rocket car, be fair and follow ALL the rules mythbusters, and if that doesn't work THEN have fun with it.

  • @THECONNMAN2 Heyyyy just lettin you know.. This is only a clip of the show.

    I watch this all the time. They usually do use all the regular things. Then they try to bust it with odd things and blow stuff up. If you watch the end of the video it says the myth is busted. That means they are going by wether or not a regular car can beat the camera...

  • @THECONNMAN2 ur gay...thet akready tried with street leagal cars'

  • @THECONNMAN2 you're retarded. They did try street legal cars. They tried using multiple supercars and they got busted every single time. Plus if you've watched the show enough you would have realized that they ALWAYS try to duplicate what the myth is. Myth was beating the red light camera. They beat it at 250+mph...

    And for the people talking about the veryon, it needed over 5 miles of racing track to hit it's top speed of 250 something so unless you already doing 200+ a veyron won't do shit.

  • The flaw in this: They didn't use a road car. The shape of The Beast is so different to a regular car, so just because the camera didn't spot IT doesn't mean it wouldn't spot an Ultimate Aero or a Veyron at that speed.

  • @m0ffx Try listening again dumbshits. At 240+ the SENSOR COULD NOT PICK UP A FUCKING TURBOJET MOTOR. The sensors use electromagnetic loops to detect large metal objects, oh like any fucking large vehicle, to trigger the camera. On top of that ANYTHING doing 240+ would go thru the camera view range before it could snap off a picture which means shit because you would need a mile+ to hit 250 in a veyron or aero. 0-2 for the grade school drop out.

  • LOL STEVEN MILLIS01... Exactly what i thought

  • no picture because all of the damn smoke

  • THAT CAR IS SSEEXXYY ITS HOT ITS FAST IT TOP NOTCH ITS MEGA AWSOMENESS

  • supposing your not a terrorist, where am i going to get a jet engine

  • nice car, i think i might cry too.

  • was that the car they used to break the sound barrior?

  • @tracemaster100 Thrust SSC

  • it's not a rocket car... it's a jet car....

  • Cars that go faster than two hundred miles per hour.

    Hmmmm.

    Bugatti Veyron, Koenigsegg CCX, Ferrari Enzo, Ferrari F50, Saleen S7, Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren, the McLaren F1, Ferrari 599 GTB, Caparo T1, Porsche Carrera GT, Jaguar XJ220, SSC Ultimate Aero...

  • @VicariousRider

    People that will go to jail for several years and catch a multi-thousand dollar fine for going 200 MPH... any rich bastard that's dumb enough not to realize that the $300,000 dollar car he's driving is very easy to identify.

    Not that it matters. Traffic + Highway Patrol = you're not going 200 mph. Not unless you're out in the middle of one of those abandoned highways in the midwest. But, then, there's no traffic cameras to dodge out there anyway.

  • @JohnTaylor5675 Okay, good point, but my comment was made merely to point out that the Mythbusters team didn't need a rocket-powered dragster; all they had to do was find someone with a supercar and hire him for the outing.

    Or, better yet, there are hopped up Suzuki Hayabusas and Kawasaki Ninja ZX14s that could blow through 200 mph no sweat.

    My point is that you don't need a rocket engine to break 200 mph.

  • @VicariousRider Jet engine, not rocket engine, I misspoke LOL.

  • Top Gear mate!

  • speeding itself is illegal, who cares if the car is illegal?

  • And there's always motorcycles ;)

  • can i buy 1?

  • bugatti can hit 253 so it still works XD

  • @Kayem237

    it takes like 4 miles to hit that speed

  • i think you got break over a 180mph to beat the speed camera!

  • So you need a street legal car that can drive that fast, and enough space on the street.... and then reality strikes back!

  • Top Fuel Dragster will do it

  • top gear did it and top gear crashed it

  • haha the yanks dont watch Top Gear

  • @pontaduck87 They do, but it's only on BBC America. (according to my US friend)

  • @pontaduck87 Don't worry we do.

  • the Car show is 'top gear' . They used a bugatti veyron to bet it

  • @PrincessOfEssex actually in the episode about speed cameras they used a TVR.

  • @PrincessOfEssex No, it was in a TVR Tuscan S, a long time before they even knew about the Veyron.

  • you can always break a sound barrior im pretty sure that speed with break the camera

  • They should have used the rocket powerd pick up... I kinda forgot the name though..

  • Great Studio

  • yipee looked like the thing neede some wings whats with all that bounce?

  • yipee

  • 2400 pounds isn't enough.. the beast levitated. wow. just wow.

  • 245mph?

    The Bugatti Veyron can beat a speed cam.

    And I'm pretty sure some other supercars can do it as well.

  • Jamie: Its an engine with a chair on it...

    ROTMFFLOL!

  • Easier to just blind the camera's CMOS sensor with 15 to 40w IR diodes.

  • @Lokivoid

    DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK?

  • it might, but if someone's to go that far, might as well tear off the plates XD

  • @Lokivoid what are you an electronics tech i need to talk to you email me?

  • This was just some free advertising for the person or people who own the jet car. I have forgotten their names already.

  • ROCKET POWER!! GO TEAM ROCKET!! ;P

  • its called TOP GEAR.

  • Top Gear ftw.

  • @stevenmlillis01 They KNOW what it's called but can't advertise it. At least he didn't call it "England" which is so wrong, but more commonly known by many people as "the UK" I know I do

  • @stevenmlillis01 YEAAAAA

  • @stevenmlillis01 They cant advertise it.

  • @stevenmlillis01

    1:30 Stig american cousin

  • Lol WTF , why is the myth busted then. Shouldn't it beproved it atleast called plausible, quite clearly the myth of going fast enough can beat the speed camera is true . Infact itsnot a myth it's a fact now.

  • I believe the precise myth is "Can you beat the speed camera with a car a normal person would legally be able to drive on the street and not have anyone know about it?"

  • And those types of car generally can't go as fast as you need to.

  • oh , my mistake.

  • Blah blah blah... All you need is a bugatti... How many of you idiots own a bugatti? Or a lamborghini?

  • And do you know how loud those cars are when they're moving? The police could hear you coming anyway lol.

  • @dvldogca or a worked to shit supra.

  • That's a lie, in my state you need 2 photos. One of the license plate, and one of the driver. If it doesn't look like the driver, or you can't clearly identify the license plate, you can't issue a ticket.

    A Harley rider went in front of one of these cameras at 130, it blurred the plates and the drivers face. A Ferrari driver went through at 140 miles an hour, and they couldn't have done shit. US photo radar, is not hard to beat...Trust me, I've managed to beat it myself.

  • lol top gear will always beat the speed camera

  • beast*

  • Hmm a veyron's max spead is about the same as the best in that video(since it din hit max) So technically speaking, a road legal car COULD beat the speed camera

  • I don't know what the camera actually works, but does making the car smaller than even a scooter make it more difficult to capture?

  • In a quarter mile, good luck. I mean technically, if there was a day NO ONE was driving and you had your Bugatti on a straight road...it can. But still...good luck.

  • Adams laugh is contagious

  • I think they didn't need to use a jet car. They could have gone with the lambo lp640 they used in their previous test and instead used it on a vacant airstrip and should have maxed it to over 200mph.

  • Top Gear Rules!!!

  • richard hammonds coffin.

  • all ya need is a Bugatti or Koenigsegg to beat the speed cameras...

  • LOL did he fart @ 1:20?

  • i hate people that confuse rockets with jets. retards

  • Yea go Top Gear UK

  • so a bugatti veyron could

  • No... the aero is godzilla

  • And it's legal. It's natural right of human. Free. To do what You want.

  • Put swastika on these sticks.

  • In Top Gear's test the camera never even went off, never mind "being there for the second flash".

    Camera software must of thought it was in error and never bothered to snap it.

  • Thanks to Jamie and Adam, we've seen one of these going full-bore.

    Thanks to Richard Hammond, we've seen one going sideways.

    Modern TV education: it's a beautiful thing

  • epic

  • @Messernacht lol I swear the majority of history and science I learn is from history discorvory and that stuff not from actual school

  • @Messernacht be quiet

  • bugatti veyron, 407 km/h also kicks ass

  • ssc aero is faster

  • Thats true, But the Bugatti is street legal. Am not so sure about the Aero

  • it has to be to hold the record fpr the fastest production car ever

  • @Boehoehuahoei Aero is too I believe, it's got the record for the fastest production car, and I believe to be a production car it must be street legal

  • Sadly though, if they wanted to, you could upgrade/ re-set the camera.

    The camera works at the speed of light, the car...doesn't.

  • yh yh that uk car show was TOP GEAR

  • Bugatti FTW!

  • dont think bugatti was in the us yet

  • i think i'll just use a Bugatti...

  • Any car with a proper turbo charger would do the job.

  • ... i'm sorry this is false, put twin turbo on most cars and the car would shake itself to hell before you get to 200... (assuming HP wasn't a factor)

    then u have the issue of the engine, most cannot handle 18psi of air coupled with the mixed fuel exploaded... i.e. you'd blow the block

  • ...

    I know all that, you think I'm an idiot? I was just puting it short.

  • you dont need a rocket car. Any decent sports car capable of ~170 MPH will do.
