Haha almost believed you until I saw on your video description you said you were playing on the Wii.
Congrats however you did it.
It's obviously an X1

I attached a Saturn V rocket to my PB&J sandwich, and it hit 22,000 km/h. Along with my can of Tang.

ZR1 fully upgraded - 247mph on a solo run on the SSR7 track.
282mph drafting behind a Veyron while online.

223 mph in my now favorite car GT-R Spec V. I now know why they call that car "Godzilla". the track was Daytona I got more at SS7 while online but forget how fast.

So a car that is traveling 5mph faster than you hit you and gave you a speed boost of 10 to 15 mph? not possible, your just digging a deeper hole for yourself.

This must be a bug but i'm really disappointed with the mclaren f1. 2 reasons. 1) It can only do a max speed of 219 stock and 2) in 5th! If you go into 6th gear it slows you down, I was in 5th at 218mph so I slipped into 6th gear only to find my speed dropped to 216mph.
WTF! In real life it can do 240mph and it goes fastest in 6th gear not 5th. Wierd.

I must have missed something with my tuning, I can't get it over 400.

You are wrong.
The speed boost is caused by Kinetic Energy transmited from car to car, not simply speed gap...
Kinetic Energy (Ek) = mass * square(speed) /2
Let's suppose a Bugatti Veyron at Stock Weight (1424 kg) at 250 mph (~112 m/s), has an Kinetik Energy of ~8931 kJ (kilo Joule)
Let's suppose it bumps at a Gillet Vertigo (780 kg) who runs at 245 mph (~110mph), to an Kinetik Energy of 4719 kJ
If the Veyron, by the decelerates to 245 mph it loses ~316 kJ.
Assuming that amount of energy is transmitted to the Vertigo, it will have a total of ~5035 kJ, whom corresponds to a speed of ~ 254mph, or a 9 mph boost.
So, not only speed, but also curb weight that matters.
This calculations where made using SI units (International System, meters, meters per second, kilograms).

304 mph.
I pulled off a double drafting with the Stock X1.

490 kmh on Daytona in my X2010 while drafting some LMP's I think. Could probably do 500 if I'd draft another X2010 unless it hits the limiter.

I put the stage 3 turbo, aero as low as possible and another players slipstream... Which was key ;-)
Otherwise, your right.

My fastest speed in my RS6 - 384KM/h
My fastest in 787B 391KM/h
No drafting.
My Veyron record isn't interesting since... It's a Veyron...

Okay, so a 5 tonne car hits a 1kg soccer ball at 1mph, are you telling me the ball will travel no more than 1mph? You, sir, are 100% wrong.
Do yourself a favour and become familiar with Newton's Second Law. Isaac Newton was a famous physicist, just in case you're also unaware of this.
Force = Mass x Acceleration
Mass is a factor - although maybe not on your planet.

Well demonstrated, pedrocor

No it is not. A car going only 5 MPH faster will not give a speed boost of more than 5 MPH. Ever.
If the car was going 10 MPH faster and gave a 5 MPH speed boost, then that is plausible.
Drafting is alot different than what both of you think by the looks of it...... any dirty air you can draft into or past will aid you in attaining a higher speed..... just works better if the car your drafting is going similar or faster than you are currently when you enter its draft.....
