| FOD40UK commented on 03.09.05 | | My mates wife (a bit of a petrol head) has an ex-police '95 Volvo 850 T5.R estate(pursuit special)If you want to go fast on the cheap(only cost her £2500)then buy one of these.It'll do a genuine 155mph(I have pants to prove it!)The funny thing is her husband hates cars.He drives a Citroen 2CV, and never breaks the speed limit. |

| ART-chitect commented on 03.09.05 | | it's like a dream, once you've reached it, it'll burst...the fastest I've drivin on public road is 127 Mph, my car can go faster but I have to try that one in Germany where there are parts without limitations (PS: I just have a normal familycar, no heavy engine or sportscar) |

| Rebecca commented on 03.09.05 | | So one night I was in some rental car...I forget what it was...and I was driving down 101 late at night. I had to be in Santa Maria the next morning and I'd gotten kind of a late start so it was pretty late, midnight or I don't know what time it was. The road was pretty much empty and I hadn't gotten to the hills yet so it was just straight cruising. I guess I was going about 100 or so, and I remember looking down at the speedometer - I think it went to 120 - and thinking, hell, I guess I could go faster than that, I wonder what happens if I just step on it. So I floored it because I was going to see how much faster than the speedometer I could go. But then all of a sudden I got up to I think it was 112 or so and the damn thing just gave a muffled sort of jolt and cut out altogether! I'd never experienced an engine with a governor thingy on it before so I thought the car was just completely broken. I called Jeff in a panic and he explained it to me...he was like, "Uh, take it easy out there missy." I thought that was pretty funny, coming from him. But my question is, why make a speedometer that goes higher than the car will even go? |

| DVD Dan commented on 03.09.05 | | Well let's just say I'd be "unlucky" for a while if you get my drift. |

| Rebecca commented on 03.09.05 | | She'd kick you out?? |

| DVD Dan commented on 03.09.05 | | The sad thing from a testosterone point of view is the fastest I've ever been is 110mph in my old rust bucket station wagon, well it wasn't so rusty then. I've always wondered how fast our Volvo will go but I'd be sleeping on a SM if I got a reckless driving ticket and my little racetrack isn't long enough to get the Volvo over a 100. |

| DVD Dan commented on 03.09.05 | | Well in the city our highways are too crowded to reasonably drive that fast. Of course in my hulking beast it is never smart to go triple digit so I don't care about my NannyFeature. I only found out about it because I was on this new toll road and it was just smooth as glass and a benz or something passed me pretty fast and I was think wow he must be really moving then I realized I was already doing 85 so I figured I should see what Big Red has, since Mr. Benz will be getting any tickets handed out. So I quickly found out that the boys in Detroit want their good'ol boys to live to buy another Chevy. |

| ART-chitect commented on 03.09.05 | | DAN, I think it's an adventure to drive your cars
I have to admit, once in a week my speedo says: 100 Mph, something you shouldn't try in the US? |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 03.08.05 | | I don't know what the average would be since they're all different, but 100 mph strikes me as rather low. |
|
|
| DVD Dan commented on 03.08.05 | | My SUV speed goes to 100mph but it will only go 97mph before a governor kicks in. My '77 Plymouth station wagon also went to 100 but no governor so it would go past the 100 mark to about 110 before it would bump into something. My Dad's '80 Chevy speedo went to only 85mph. |

|
| ART-chitect commented on 03.08.05 | | in the US I mean, cause they are known for their low speed, last year I drove two Americans girl around in our beautifull country and they noticed my speed (what speed?) |
|
|
| ART-chitect commented on 03.08.05 | | quick question: what's the average maximum on the speedometer of an average car? mine goes to 150Mph |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 03.08.05 | | That is a stuffed bull on the dashboard of my sister's truck, which has a speedometer that only goes to 100. It is a 4wd Ford F150. |
|
|
| wim commented on 03.08.05 | | is 100 mpH your maximum speed? I did not know there were cars that could drive so slowly; looks to me as if santaclaus is dead |
|
|
| ART-chitect commented on 03.07.05 | | okay, look at the comment below, this is the effect I was looking for...you stood still or yout car needs a repair? what pet did you killed? question? c'est la vie |
