Wouldn't non-stock size wheels & tires cause speedo error?

Take a friend alone to take the pic and keep your hands in a position where you can react in an emergengy. 12 oclock with one hand is extremely dangerous... :rolleyes: Mizman

:rolleyes: Mizman[/QB] For your information, That was taken on a deserted runway. There was plenty of room to avoid anything. Notice I said I don't condone such activity on public highways! There was nothing around. And jumping at me calling me a dumbass is really cool. I salute you!

Man, I think if I was going that fast, I'd be too afraid to look down at my speedometer, let alone use one hand to take a picture and probably one eye to look through the camera. You guys are nuts!  On the other hand, those pictures are very cool!

Don't endanger other people while doing a stupid activity!

this thread should be locked.
oh yeah I hit an indicated 140 once chasing an impala ss. indicated 130 like 4 times. car handles great at that speed, but stock brakes don't do anything for you....better have a wide stretch of road
