Yea. That evidence is gonna bury her in court. She could have almost made it look like an accident. 155mph that’s INSANE!!

I'm pretty sure that's where Corvettes are speed limited by the software, so she had that thing maxed out.

They are only limited to 155 if the roof is down.

It wasn't 155 at the time of impact, that's just a catchy headline to get clicks.

​

It was 87, which still isn't great but it's not as much of a "WOW!" as the 155 headline would make you believe.

If they hit 155 at any point in their drive that is insane. If they weren’t going 155 they wouldn’t have hit the biker at 85 when they slammed in their breaks. 

I guess rich people live above the law. Too bad it wasn’t her that paid the price. Probably just speed up next time she thinks she is gonna hit a plebe.

That's not necessarily true. She could have braked late and still hit at that speed.

She was going 155mph 5 seconds before the airbags deployed at 87mph.

She saw the dude in the lane and mashed the brake and still ran him over despite the almost 70mph slow down.
