ACtually, living in Oklahoma City, OK where this was filmed, I can shed some light. When they talk of coming up to Sheilds Blvd, that is the bridge that he passes under. Start your stopwatch there. He then passes over Walker, and just as he is about to be spun for the first time you will see a street underneath the bridge that he is on. That street is Western Ave. Hit your stopwatch again. You should have timed that amazing run at about 35 - 36 seconds. That distance is exactly one mile for a speed calculation of 100 MPH.

I don't care what car it was, with what motor, to be able to recover that well, Twice, at that speed is absolutely remarkable. And then to have the presence of mind to throw it in reverse when he butted up against the curb the third time. If you ask me this guy was a disgruntled hollywood stunt driver. While certainly not condoned, he gets a big for skill..
Skill is much more than being able to turn the wheel at the right time, though that is important. How many ladies driving down the highway did he terrify? Worse yet, how many people's lives did the police endanger to spin him in from of 65-70 MPH traffic - THREE TIMES, once nearly putting him over a bridge in reverse.
While He may be talented, as in able to steer verywell under extreme circumstances, he IS NOT skilled.

Oh I agree 110%, what he did was absolutely moronic, and he should be prosecuted accordingly. But moronic as it was, that was a bit of of drivin' he did
