That's pretty ridiculous and a shame - clearly someone was drunk.

But there's not a chance on God's green earth that car was doing anymore than 50 or 60 through Greenwhich. The streets simply wouldn't allow that kind of speed without destroying the entire car. I can't go faster than 20-30MPH in my Audi with every crevice, dip, hole, bump, etc in that area - it is purposely unkept to keep traffic that slow.

Plus, being struck at 100MPH would've disintegrated the people who were hit by the car.

There has to be some cameras around the area that may have caught something. Plus while there are a crapload of cars in NYC, white BMW is still considered a minority.

If anyone knows who did this, contact your local police, this guy is no good.

"But the driver of the silver BMW 650i convertible that slammed a Ford taxi was “a big, muscular dude” who “pushed one of them off, then took off,” Zach said."
"A second car, believed to be driven by the other racer, sped away with the perp."
