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...

That guy is an idiot.

The officer was also just setting up a speed trap.

SynthDude2001 and 95SS: Didn't dug777 already leave his speed in kph? No need for conversion.

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...

Try again there skippy 😉


(5280 / 3250) * 142 == 230.69538461538461538461538461538

Agree to disagree
😉

3280, not 3250

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.

Thats weird... isn't a meter 39inches?

( 39 * 1000 ) / 12 == 3250

interesting

My basis was 39 inches. 😱

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