Cops also took away the 2006 BMW model Z4 — with a maximum speed of 155 mph — that the racing madman used for his stunt.
The nut mounted a camera on his dashboard, which chronicled his 26.5-mile journey from the FDR Drive at E. 116th St. to Battery Park, and back up West St. until he reached his starting point again.
Members of the NYPD’s Highway District Collision Investigation Squad reviewed the video and collared the East Harlem man.
I wonder what his top and average speeds were.
