yes it is. Going flat out to the speed limit may not result in the breaking of the speed limit but it can be dangerous and illegal ( dangerous driving etc ) . I am surprised I have to explain this.

mate those 265's haul ***... allthough yours has almost 400hp (290kw is almost 400 isnt it... drunk)... i guess he might have the weight advantage with a fair bit of power.

I was Sitting on 190kph acouple of years back in my XD and came op behind a VU SS , over took him and as I did he treid to keep up so I went a bit harder till i was ahead and and stayed at that speed. ended up over the 220 mark for a bit till i lost sight of him and slowed back to 190 again! Had to slow down to 80 to go thru towns , but I used a full 70 liters to travel 315 klms . Damn that was a good drive ! The old XD is a bit thirsty at those speeds ! 1 hour 45 mins from Kathrine to Darwin is not to bad huh ?Gotta love them open speed limits !

Not alot of stories but the last time at Calder I was up against an RX7, the last shape. Typical ricer exhaust, pretty loud, you guys know the type.

I was thinking I might be in trouble as i never know if these things are go or show. Anyway, stall up lights go and it was all over by the time I clicked 2nd.
I ran a pb of 12.7 and he managed a 15.2. LOL

wtf is the point of a 0-60k drag anyway? All it proves is who gets the better traction? Take your car to the strip :P

Yeh they crack you up, sometimes you think the car next to you is a goer then they end up way back in the distance. Dont get to race ricesr etc at WSID as V8's race V8's and ricers/6's race each other.
