Sounds like they put some real effort into it, including a special fuel cell to improve range between fill-ups and a wide variety of high tech speed trap countermeasure gear:
Let’s see 3000 miles divided by 27 hours and 25 minutes. Hmmmm. Carry the four, plus 17, minus three....this means they were going....ummmmmm.....110 miles and hour the whole time????
3 friends of mine and I drove an Auto-Driveaway car (a Volvo 4-door sedan) from Mount Vernon, Virginia to Palo Alto, California in 51 hours to catch the 1988-89 New Years GD shows. I picked one of them up in Fairfax, VA, two sisters in Charlottesville,VA, and then we formed a Day Team and a Night Team and drove straight through with few stops. Other than stopping at truck stops for gas and food, we only stopped for a quick visit to Graceland where we got some tourists to snap our photo at the gate and sneak on Elvis' tourbus, the Continental Divide in New Mexico to have a snowball fight, and a three hour delay in Tehachapi Pass where we spun out on icy, snowy and windy roads, blew out two tires, almost totaled the car but stopped about 5 yards from hitting a highway sign, but made it through unscathed thanks to the help of some good Samaritans.
I once rode a fuckin greyhound from South Carolina to Reno in about six days and change, with no weed whatsoever. Paid nine dollars (this was in 1997) for a can of Copenhagen from some podunk store in Alabama with dirt floors. Got sick on some lady’s Cuban food on the bus. Smoked mescaline with some bums at a truck stop. Got my shit ripped off while I was sleeping too. Wooooo! What a ride.
Furthur 2010, I didn't leave Rochester till 1:30pm and got to Valparaiso Bridge to Coney Island by 7pm. Took me like an hour to get over the bridge but managed to get checked into the hotel, got a cab and made it for second set.

The 193 MPH part was in an "undisclosed location."
I used to do WY to FLA in less than two days of straight driving, switching off drivers.
