Your right on the money! Our Police ARE called OPP, and they are NOT awesome. Hopefully I won't have to have the cd ready to play anytime soon!

PS- what made you stop at 180? Isn't 200 just mocking you?
Ha! I didn't stop there that was the speed I was cruising at. I've only hit 195 so far. Aren't there Governer's on these cars? I would assume not, if there are they've got them set up there pretty high!

no, there is nothing limiting you besides drag (143mph) or your redline, if are going downhill or in something with a lot more power than stock.

Lets see.......140 kph over the speed limit.....No you won't lose your license.....they with just shoot you on the side of the road.........
Highest speed I heard of , out here, was 190 on a M/C.....uphill passing. That made the news for a week.....

263 meters.
That's assuming .85 as the coefficient of friction
with .75, a little more realistic number for street tires on normal pavement in an ABS equpped car, it's more like 300m.

a shifter Kart with a coefficient of 1.5 could stop from 100 km/h in 25m!

They cracked me up when I was there. Their tripod radar traps had me laughing for hours.

Here's the stupid question for the day. How bad is it on my 98 CSVT to drive it at high speeds fairly frequently. Between 160KM-180KM/Hour.
I really don't get this system of numbers....how fast is that now??  
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

For those of us that are metrically challanged, I checked the small numbers on my speedo. It looks like 160kph=200mph, 180kph=112mph, and 200kph=125mph or something close to that.
And I don't feel sorry for all you guys that tried to drown the shamrock last night.
