Story

According to Klare, Champ, who was alone in the vehicle, said he was trying to catch up to someone who had thrown a bottle at his car.

At least it wasn't a brick, right? ;)

Update : Another article with pic of car.

IIRC the conversion factor is around 1.6, so that's around 227-228km/h

My first car ('90 Ford Tempo) was not much better...

Eh, I still ran the thing over 90mph...probably sent it to an early grave. Good riddance.

I swear I thought the engine was gonna blow if I so much as thought about flooring it...

My Topaz is geared for almost 260kmh, but at my current power level, it'd probably top out around 230.

230 is pretty fast though.

I guess I had the base "teh suck" model, lol. Speedometer topped out at 85, and it took forever to get there. :p
