Ok, so maybe many of you have done it before..... but this past weekend, I buried the needle at 120 mph on a stretch of road.
It was cool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Strange thing though..... later in the evening, I took the Acura on the same stretch of road, and only got to 105 mph before I had to start slowing down. The acura is rated at 165 HP..... what does that say about the teener? Any guesses? |

My stock speedo is way off. It reads at least 20% too high. I know for a fact that it is 30% off at slow speeds. I verified it once with a police radar "your speed is" sign. At 30mph I was actually going 20mph.
I think it's the one thing that has kept me from getting a ticket in the last 3 years of ownership. :-) My speed0 usually says 95-100 on the freeway but I'm really probably going 70-75. |
