Default 1000hp Ford GT @ 200+mph - doesn't raise an eyebrow!!!

I have fallen completely in love with the twin turbo Ford GTs that Heffner Performance are creating. Not cheap, but 1000+hp at the tyres never is...
Here's one for sale at the moment, but that's not the reason for the post... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...fCarsQ5fTrucks

There are countless Youtube videos of them on the dyno, incar speedo shots of them doing anywhere from 220 to 266mph in one-mile drag races, etc

This video caught my eye for a few reasons.

1. Who in their right mind would feel it necessary to go 200 or more mph within about 3 metres of a group of people standing on the side of the road (with no guard rail between them and the car)

2. How bloody good does it sound!

3. How come the blonde to the right of screen is so uninterested or blasé about it all, that the car doesn't even register!

4. Come to think of it - NOBODY looks at it!!!
