I know youre joking but that is something they should actually think about. Cars like an S6 are actually driven at those speeds quite regularly. There will be limits to how much you can do against wind noises though.

@@KevinTheFirefighter Crazy, I wasn't aware of that. I have driven Mercedes at those speeds and they felt super quiet still so I was honestly assuming the Audi should be as well

One day, someone will set a record under 24 hours, and on that day the record will forever be known as, "Beating the Sun."

Outside of this small group of guys is there anyone that gives a f*ck about these records? Lol especially since they were done under circumstances that might never be available again. Without being able to challenge the record it almost seems like they permanently ruined the future of cannonballing
It took all that effort to beat a crazy guy in a rental mustang gas bomb by 16 mins.
Haha!
Mustang got its biggest gains from the fuel cell equipment (capacity) and fill strategy I think
James - as well as ZFG attitude!
James what was the filling strategy?
And the mustang was just 1 guy no team of spotters and crazy cop equipment just a couple fuel tanks and a crazy Maineiac
I didn't know much about how this achieved, so I'm glad to hear that no reckless weaving or shoulder passing was involved. I also had no idea it was so intricate with scouts being used to divert state troopers and such.

And that was with Fred getting stuck in that agriculture inspection line for several minutes and never reaching 160 MPH in his solo run. I haven't watched this vid yet to see what problems they encountered so maybe there's a reason they barely beat him.

And they drove the car straight over and ran the Smokey and bandit challenge right after.
Biggest. Balls. Ever.
Me too!
Also I don't know how you beat that record. You'd have to get a car that could hit a much higher average speed, and Covid traffic, and replicate the one fuel stop. Oh and not get caught of coarse.
The Mushtang was really in the outlaw spirit of Cannonball. I like seeing the flat out no traffic record runs, but the grassroots mentality is where it's at.
Thanks for a great video. I learned a lot and am really impressed with the planning and execution it took to cross the country at such bonkers speed. Can’t see myself ever doing such a thing but plenty of really useful information in my everyday life.
What a nice opportunity to do a run. Empty roads!! My memory of our run in ‘79 is in stark contrast to this run. And the speeds of the cars!! OMG, being there’s been a good march of progress since our time (like speed ratings on tires). 34:08. 4th.

I honestly think these records are no longer impressive at all and need to stop before one of these morons gets killed in a fireball explosion when they crash that stupid car loaded with tanks of gasoline flying down the highway at 150mph. This is **not even hard to do** , and it's not even that hard to get away with. You just have to be rich, have a giant ego, and have a certain lack of empathy for others around you, which I despise.
Sorry to be negative but every cannonball guy I've ever seen is the definition of a spoiled, white privelaged, absolute beta male, who thinks bragging about getting away with committing felonies somehow makes you cool. They're wasting the time of law enforcement and putting everyone in danger, all for what, so they can go drink craft beer with their other rich friends and brag to eachother about it? The biggest reason why I don't respect these records whatsoever....THEY'RE NOT RUNNING FROM ANYTHING!! NOBODY IS TRYING TO CATCH YOU!!
This is just simply not that hard to do, the **only risks** are getting caught committing a felony while doing it, and of course, death, because you're driving a literal gasoline bomb down the road at 150. Getting away with committing felonies, then bragging about it on the internet, doesn't make you cool it makes you very very dumb. That's what these guys are doing, they're just waving it in everyones face saying "I CAN GET AWAY WITH BREAKING THE LAW BECAUSE I'M SO SMART AND COOL." it has **nothing to do with cars** , it had everything to do with these guys EGOS
THIS IS NOT HARD TO DO. WE NEED TO STOP PROMOTING THESE GUYS BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED. IT'S NOT ABOUT CARS IT'S ABOUT THEIR FRAGILE LITTLE EGO.
I'm sure Doug Tabbut will say "oh look another pearl clutcher", and that's the thing, anyone who calls him out on his BS, he just has the atttitude, of "Well I guess you guys just aren't as cool as me." What they're doing isn't hard to do, it's not impressive, it's complete beta male BS.
I'm not impressed that you strapped a bunch of extra gas tanks to an Audi and went flying across the country using spotters during a global pandemic where you know law enforcement has MUCH BETTER THINGS TO DO, than deal with you guys, I think you need to stop this whole escapade and stick to producing content about CARS instead of producing content about your rich friends who do beta male things in their spare time.
I seriously hope the next person who attempts this record gets caught and thrown in jail.
I stopped watching your channel because it's not about CARS, it's about a bunch of losers who think they're cool trying to impress people with old stories they've told at parties a billion times before. But no matter where I go on car forums, this dumb stuff about you guys strapping gas tanks into a trunk and going 175 on public roads keeps popping up.

Great story as usual! I laughed IRL at the lane assist part, had a similar experience in a rental car on a ski trip, I was the guy sleeping in the back and had the "you moron" moment when it came my turn to drive at which point the other driver said "oh, that's why it handled so weirdly..I didn't want to scare anyone so I didn't say anything"

Congrats! But it sounds like it can still be beaten by at least 10 minutes.
Yeah the lane assist situation lost them a bit of time.
@@yann9378 Plus the traffic in California slowed them down quite a bit too
Only theoretically. Traffic is getting back to normal, so anybody attempting doesn't have the same permissive environment.
It’s never going to happen again. This run and all the previous runs this year are not counted towards real cannon ball runs. When traffic gets back to normal I’m sure they’re going to try beating the old record.
The only reason the “lane assist” was firing up is because they were not signaling with indicators when changing lanes...
Funny as “for us safety is the most important thing in a cannonball”. Although I understand that at those speed, signaling lane change isn’t really relevant as no one is passing them. That could prevent other driver to be even more mad at them and call the police.
Not necessarily.. it could be going off without him switching kanes just because he was getting close to a line. Think about it, at those speeds it can become very difficult to stay centered in the lane and then once it acted up the forst time and him not knownthe issie he gets occupied with that and makes more mistakes.
diabloein I see what you mean and that makes sense indeed. Good suggestion. My Volvo used to trigger the lane departure warning signal when I was veering toward the line but not even yet crossing it. I am not very familiar with a system with steering assist.
@@margauxj-broussel9186 i used to drive a sprinter van for fedex that had lane assist and it was annoying. It would fight me and vibrate the wheel when driving down country roads/dirt roads because the road didnt have clear painted lines so the system would go haywire. And even on the highway it would act up if i even came close to a line at 65. I couldnt imagine what doing 150 would do to the thing because no way you can stay perfectly centered then.
There are stories of guys who actually signal while on a track. I always say that if you are making judgements as to whether you should signal, then you should probably signal. It’s like frequent rear view checks. Funny how those two things are often the cause of major incidents.
Firing blinkers all the time is a) a good way cops find targets and b) not required except where a turn or merge is likely to affect traffic (at least according to CA and AZ vehicle codes). I call drivers who blinker blindly "blinker-heads" who learned DMV and not the law.
You know what, after watching all these Cannonball videos, I'm realizing the people doing these runs are the most chill and friendly people you could find. They seem like awesome people.

@@treycen2785 Come on! My commuter car in most of 2021, each way 52 km, was a 4.0 Boxster. Great fun, and probably quite a step or two better than an S6. I have a slightly modded 105 series Alfa Coupé now, not as fast but twice as funny to drive - not a single boring Nanny system, raw, direct, loud and honest. Commuting is a boring, time-shredding chore, so it should be done with the car that can give You the most fun on Your daily way to work, right? Commuting in an S6 would even enable You to drop the kids on the way, something a Boxster can only do with one kid at a time, pretty much like the 105 series Bertone, too.
I have the very nice advantage to live and commute in Germany, which makes it less of a chore and more of an adrenaline shot, better than any coffee money could buy.
A lot of balding branch managers and confidential clerks commute with an S6 and drop their kids on the way. So, if that does not make it a commuter car, I don't know what would.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking it. It's an awesome achievement for sure. I don't blame a single person for wanting to go out there in a possibly once in a lifetime environment. I just find the hypocrisy from commentators in the community back in March compared to now a little hilarious.
That was before they realized people are too dumb for covid to end, gotta do something when ya get bored and did everything else.
I imagine cannonball is going to be a thing of the past when these records become untouchable in normal traffic again.. maybe that's a good thing tho.
He was probably just making that as an excuse since he knew his wife wasn’t gonna give him the green light at the time lol
@@ryanyablonski2144 its really not the same challenge
Gone yea, because people could totally just stop a virus in its tracks by not going to work (never ever happened before)
"Has heated seats and rain sensed wipers oooo"... must be nice XD
This is the most badass true street racer story Ive ever heard. I wanna do this now
Is anybody actually impressed by a team of 30 people "achieving" this?
Rental Ford Mustang will always be the cannonball god
the fact that ed supported this record but not the 2638 says alot.
Rental Mustang guy did it once by being completely careless. I think the biggest takeaway from his run is how lucky he is to still have a license. These guys do it properly and have completed many successful runs. Mustang guy would get caught very quickly running the way he does.
@@taylormay9938 what does that even mean "do it properly". There's a "proper" way of driving across the country at 110 mph? Just because they plan every inch of the drive doesn't make it any safer then a guy renting a mustang and going balls to the wall.
@@Minicprlvr ignore everything I said. My buddy told me the Mustang guy just took it and went as fast as possible the entire time without any countermeasures. I made the time to watch the full interview, and this is obviously completely false. Actually very impressive.
Agree 100 fucking percent!!!! Team effort shouldn't fucking count!!!!! Cheap victory
Now someone really needs to do this in a Taurus SHO Police-Interceptor
They are awful! Horrible visibility and cramped... Twin Turbo Explorer maybe
Buster Donut from my experience, it’s the opposite
God I miss my 92 SHO 5 speed, black on tan. What a comfortable and lovely innocuous car. That 3.0 Yamaha was so smooth, and who doesn’t love 7250 of redline?
Nah do it in a black hellcat charger with a pushbar and wing delete
Better: spend years getting onto the police force and then take advantage of being above the law to set a truly unbeatable C-ball run.
I just absolutely love everything about this!
I like how the ending is basically the guy saying "Yeah we broke the record but it's 2020 so everything sucks."
Nothing is unbeatable remember that.
Especially Rihanna
@@sandhydra6666 Lmao🤣
Wait till flying cars go wee up there
Wait til Ed Bolian gets his hand on a teleporter
Sandhydra you’re vile
I drove from LA to NYC in 35 hours and I thought I was jamming... I can't imagine how fast you were going
110mph avg
Man thats just nuts lolzz
Slower than 175...
You guys are awesome!
“We weren’t passing people at excessive speeds”
The video clips: are you sure about that
Doug always looks like he just woke up at 2am and he has to tell a bedtime story to his kids to put them back to sleep.
Good story, but the solo mustang guy record arr much more impressive.
I agree!
Not only that he got stopped for like 24 minutes and another 10 min issue these guys didn't have that check point
The first two troopers who got out of their way probably thought they were feds lol
During Covid, I was in construction and we weren't able to sit at home but it was nice to drive to and from work without the usual traffic for a few months.
Doug's a champion; he looks like Wario.
Luigi maybe
Waluigi
When they mentioned the steering vibrations I did a face-palm thinking they didn't turned the lane keep assist off, which is what it was. 😂
I did a face-palm when they thought less air in the tires at high speeds was a good idea......
@@dethkl0k is a gift that keeps on giving 🤣
@@dethkl0kI mean the tires would be hot so the air pressure would increase
That lane assist kills me 😂😂 I don’t use it either.
I just took pictures & videos of it today, looks better in person 👌🏼
My favorite part if the car is the little ford looking logo that says audi lol
It’s insane how many semis hit cars like that. Reminder to never wait in your car if you break down. Glad you guys were ok.
So long as you can get off the road and behind a guard rail or something
Do they do it on purpose? Almost seemed like that on the first video
@@StorKejsaren No, but when they're cooking their log books and driving while barely conscious, they see taillights and stay behind them until they suddenly realize the car is parked.
@@Sawblade02 exactly. Friends sister was killed just like this.
depends how you break down some times your car is the best place. Main thing is being able to get it off the road far enough.
Great run guys! The internets are proud.
When the spotters takes one for the team, really felt like Fast and Furious
The fact that these guys didn't without anycheats and THEN did it with the cheats...
Mind blowing
V12 SACAPUNTAS, what “cheats”?
John H cheat codes. Like in them video games the kids play
@@johnh2349 With traffic = no cheats. No traffic = cheats
@@broncogrizzI disagree. That isn't a cheat. Taking advantage of an environmental change you have no control over is not cheating. Gaming the GPS to alter the time, doing a relay style hand-off between cars on the trip or taking a plane part way would be a cheat.
Spotters and chase cars are cheats.
Karen=No Bueno for the Mexican Stig
Mexican Stig= Male Karen
Awesome freakin story man!! #ThePerfectRun 🏆
