Yeah, I think youtube had to take it down because these guys were blatantly breaking the law. 

Here's a quick article I found: http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/1128abrk-lamborghini1128.html

An Internet video of Lamborghini claiming 219 mph on an Arizona highway has sparked an investigation by the Department of Public Safety.

The five minute video depicts several runs where the driver attempts to beat the previous run's top speed, with the final run resulting in a 219 mph top speed on what appears to be a Phoenix area freeway.

The video repeatedly zooms in to shot the speedometer and then back out to the road.

The video appeared on the website youtube.com, but has since been removed by the original poster. Somebody else reposted it, though.

DPS will not comment, only saying they have an opened a criminal investigation on the video.

I'm sure there's not too many Lamborghinis in the Phoenix area with that color so I'm guessing there's a pretty good chance he's gonna get caught.

Update:  I read somewhere (don't have a link) that this guy is now saying the video is a fake.  He said that he sped up the camera to make it seem he was going that fast as a joke, and edited the dashboard using a video editor.

My thought is that he is probably just saying this because he is getting in trouble.  The guy who was driving is the owner of some site called FTV girls or something along those lines.  I think its a porn site.

Interesting, maybe you just didn't want to share with the rest of us where you actually read this.
