yeah sadly the cop didnt like the humor of i thought the speed limit was 95 thats what the sign says pointing at a I-95 sign lol... tickets suck

I was cruising with my buddy in his vette on highway 190.... we were going about 140ish lol... got pulled over and he said the same thing as you...trooper died laughing, told us to slow down, and let us go.

I think the car is governed. I decided to try it out and I was doing 128 and it was still pulling with reasonably low RPM and then at 130 it shot towards redline.

you'll notice that when something is edited, it tells you in the bottom of the post.

Is it really so hard to just post a picture if you claim to go that fast? Physics is physics. It takes a certain amount of power to overcome drag, and if you run out of power, you don't go faster. I'm at altitude, so the air is thinner, so I should be able to go faster, right? Not necessarily; less air means less power. Less power to overcome less drag means? I still don't beat physics.

and what exactly do you call altitude

In hind sight, a video isn't a great idea. Here is a picture. Wasn't top speed, but needed to slow down.

DAMN MAN! That's not top speed yet???<?<?<?? Totally gonna try to top out my car tonight!!!!!

 

[SSpeckerwood]

That's gotta be some sort of land speed record....

 

[doreo]

[d.p]

he's in texas so its in MPH

 

[Red Sonic LT]

That's def mph, because I Tried changing the units to Kilometers and it did, but it marks KL on the bottom of the speed not on top like when it's set to mph.

You and your photoshopping. ;p

and what exactly do you call altitude

I'm not in Colorado or anything, but I'm in El Paso. Elevation is roughly 3800 ft.

i had mine up to 109 with no problem in 6th gear. i didn't take a pic, cause i didn't realize i needed to. the lowest elevation for me is around 4800 ft. where i did the speed was at 5900'. now 5th gear should take me to a higher speed, faster. i'll try that.

next time will be faster and i'll get a pic.
