speedo accuracy

anyone know how accurate the speedometers are? I drove a stock 2000 5-speed gt and got it up to 148 before i ran out of road er... i mean track.

just keep doing what you are doing and sooner or later a cop will let you know how accurate it is.

so why did u get all those mods for? going 60mph? i doubt it. besides it was 3am down a dead end road with my house at the end... no cops

What the hell is this? None of his mods have anything to do with making his car go faster...

Not everybody mods a car to run it at its top speed everywhere they can. That is just stupid... I suppose you would think with the car I am building I would be driving it 160mph everywhere just cause it can do it? Answer is hell no... Theres no reason to be driving a car around at 148mph, especially on a road that dead ends to your house... :nono: What would you have done if your brakes had gone out on you while playing that little game? Also, just because there are no cops around doesn't make it right. What if something or someone had jumped out in front of you while you were going that fast?

I swear, nobody ever thinks of these things when speeding like that...

I also don't see how this has anything to do with speedometer accuracy. It sounds like you just wanna talk about maxing out the top speed of you car. I don't like threads like this when your doing it on the streets. Keep stupid speeds to the track where the proper emergency services are available to peel your dumbass off the pavement when you wreck... :disappoin

yeah...none of those mods were done to make this fat pig go any faster. And the only reason I have a lightweight flywheel on it is because I needed to get my clutch replaced, and i figured I might as well upgrade the flywheel along with it. As for everything else, they either make it stop better, turn better, launch better, or just all in all drive tighter. There is no point in trying to make this car real fast in street trim because it's simply too fat, especially when I have as much stereo in my car as I do.

Keep the fast speeds to legal drag courses... thats how you get people killed doing that.:screwy:

Yup... It happened around my area several years back. Guy was doin like 90 through a small town and a little girl came into the road between two parked cars and he hit and killed her. Got charged with vehicular manslaughter and is now spending the rest of his life in jail... Two families must suffer forever now because of unnecessary speeding... :disappoin

that's the only bad thing about natural selection is someone else always gets screwed over that didn't deserve it.

too bad darwin's theories haven't kicked in on this dumbass
