An 18 year old has been charged with stunt driving after police nabbed a car going 240 kilometres per hour on Highway 407 .
It happened on Monday night just before midnight.
Ontario Provincial Police apprehended the driver of a black Nissan GT-R on the highway, in Vaughan, Ont., around 10:30 p.m. Monday. The posted speed limit was 100 km/h.
Vince Lisi, 18, was slapped with a seven-day license suspension and had his car impounded for a week. He faces charges of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, stunt driving and being unable to present a driver’s licence to an officer.
Lisi, who contacted QMI Agency, said he was merely “testing the car” out.
“It’s a GT, you’ve got to go fast in it, and the roads were clear,” he said.
Lisi added he was stopped by police last week while driving a different high-performance car. He declined to say anything more and abruptly hung up.
OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said the driver “was released at the scene with (a court) appearance notice.”
Lisi is due in court on May 30.

Those speed limits were designed fourty years ago. That gt-r could stop faster at 240 than a 1971 oldsmobile doing the speed limit.
This police extortion must stop im sick of reading this garbage. You should be allowed to open up on highways in cars that are clearly designed for it if the roads are clear and youre not driving like an idiot.
