Can't believe I'm only now watching this! I was captain of the other Crown Vic, the "General Leia" and let me tell you they blew past us in PA as if we were standing still. To their credit, they did wave.

Yea, tell me about it. Ex-military brass car. Ex-"community patrol" car. Everyone was scared shitless, even though it was dark blue. It was like driving a magnet. Every car on the road slowed down to 10 mph UNDER the speed limit, even if they were in FRONT of you. Such a pain in the ass. Not a terrible car. Not good, either. Glad it's gone.

LOL.. no records here. In March of 2017, I made it from Western KY, to SLC Utah in a 1984 GMC Camper Special in 20 hours, including a 2 hour nap. I made the mistake of going through Kansas and Wyoming. I think I almost died about 20 times ! The wind was crazy all the way from Kansas City until I got about two hours out of Laramie. Ohh on my nap I left the truck idling and fouled out a plug. 31" tires and 3.73 gears.

That P71 has some stories to tell!

You're right if your car has a modern trip computer look at your avg. Speed. My 07 subaru reads 24mph. To average 80 you have to be crazy fast

Haha I had a p71 in high school and boy did people get out of the way! They also hated me once and if they realized I wasn't a cop lol

10:00 Stradman : *TRIGGERED*

When I first read about the 2901 race, it seemed like a legit lemons affair. I don't know if that page is still up, but this race sounds like a hack-a-thon. Sorry, but getting a tech to do 1000 hours of free labor on your car is against the spirit of the race.

Great Story - thanks for sharing. Moral of the story? Have a good leg wrestler on the team.

Sweet ride.....AWESOME to hear MY home town named...Lincoln Nebraska.....great story, thanks......this makes me wanna do one of these runs....sounds like a blast

god bless that poor 4.6

Great job Arne! I wanted to do Cannoball this year but the $25k entry fee just looks like it's only for rich guys. I did build a 79 Camaro for around $3k though and it would be interesting to see how it would do across the country!

the 24 hour of lemons :)

very impressive. as a colorado native who constantly goes up i-70, i can tell you for sure that most cars struggle to achieve 70mph, and semi trucks can (maybe) do 35. how you did 90 on those sketchy downhills and uphills was insane. great solid car and the same to the driver.

Makes me sad my height and weight was the deciding factor in this. Sorry Arne. Makes me really disappointed about the navigation error I made because I would have been in the 31:40 range without the additional 60 miles.

Great Story.

this is the best channel ever

Good story, thanks for it. Better luck next time!

139.9 mph max. Sounds like there was some sort of governor that could have been removed.

The he described Ed, he’s got a guy on his team that’s a 30 year Mercedes tech that does everything for free of course oh my god I’m dying

I guess the moral of the story is that you should always be trained and ready for leg wrestling.

The moral of the story is why the hell don’t they let the cars go together? Ridiculous to screw somebody over at the very start by guaranteeing they arrive in LA during rush hour. I just hate petty stupidity, these people are the cause of so much shit in the world. They should have removed an hour and a half from his time.

Life can be harsh and unfair but you still made one hell of an accomplishment.

Three vics, lookin sick as hell

I own a 2011 crown vic polic interceptor. Man I love this car

So you guys somehow manage to make it across the country driving at a crazy rate of speed and not get stopped by the police once? Lol

I have driven from Philly to la I couldn't imag8ne doing it in just over a day granted I'm stuck at 62 mph no matter what but still looks fun to do in a car

Had to research if I can enter my Buick in a cannon ball run.

Really want to do this!

Can he stop closing his eyes.. Also he reminds me of Jimmy from Neighbors

big flex from Lincoln NE

I would have just ridden the shoulder in la because at that point in that car "fuck it"

That last line is EXACTLY why I love Ed so much! @Crossfire on VINwiki

Currently building my own panther platform cannonball car.

5:23 "Medical Courier" + a CB antenna. Haha! I love it! I love it so much!

I currently live in iowa, it seems like the locals don't understand how to use the left lane. Or get out of the way of emergency vehicles.

Thinner air is what killed you in Colorado. I was stationed Lowry AFB in 1984. Had a weekend up at Estes Park when I was there. Harder to breathe, but man the scenery was beautiful.

The Crucible Rally I've heard is going to be doing a similar cannonball course but it's not until 2020 and they haven't announced how to qualify.

I've got a 1984 GMC Camper special with dual 20 gallon tanks and I want to add a 42 gallon suburban tank to the rear where the spare tire would be. What I want to do is make a run from the last road in the State of Maine near Canada down to San Diego via I40 just for the halibut. I also need a crate engine and an over drive. I'd be happy if I could average 75, 80 mph.

The 24 hours of what? Lemons?! XD

His chest looks weird. Like Christopher Reeves in his wheelchair. Or is it just me?

You know, you guys pretty much have a think tank. Turn it toward legislation. Pass a law that says effective immediately all speed limits on Interstates are raised to 80MPH. Make it so the right lane can be a minimum of 45MPH, left lane for 80MPH. Look, cars are much more capable in the 21st century - why the hell are we still stuck in most urban areas to 45-55MPH?

Ive seen one going like 100 mph all black with an il platr
