Nelson, owner of Precision Exotics, said his Lamborghini will touch a little over 200 miles an hour.
He knows because he’s tested it, and you can too at the Dayton Air Show this weekend.
“Well, you can’t go jump in the cockpit of the Thunderbirds and rip that F-16 around the sky. We will let you hop in one of these,” Nelson said. “It could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
News Center 7′s Xavier Hershovitz got the chance to hop in the passenger seat and take a ride.
The Lamborghini got up to 185 miles an hour, Hershovitz said.

“What really is fun about this is seeing the expressions on people’s faces,” said Nelson.
Hershovitz enjoyed the ride would be an understatement.
“Whooooooo! I want go to again!” he shouted. “It was totally awesome!”
If you want to jump behind the wheel at the air show this weekend, Nelson says you can just walk up and it’s first come first serve.
“It’s a really just a walk up, come as you go, it’s first come, first serve,” he said. “And it’s our tent if you’re facing the Thunderbirds, we’re going to be just to the right.”
