Trivia
- Conerod is likely affiliated with the Conerod Auto, since his last name is Conerod.
- "350 MPH" is painted on his hood, highly unlikely that was his top speed. It was most likely an exaggeration to demonstrate how fast he is. In real-life, the 300 mph record was not broken until 2019.
- Though his fastest actual top speed could be only around the 110-120 mph mark.
