Kell you could have at least posted up the conversion factor

Its around .63.

My fastest was about 140. Nothing too crazy. I don't see the need to run 170.

CrazyKell · 06-15-2009, 06:31 PM

249 km = 149 ish.

I would agree, it's a moment I'd refer to as a temporary case of insanity then again I guess I'm sane at those moments(very few of them I might add) because I'm always calculated in terms of when I'd do something like that meaning on the interstate.

Insanity would be doing 130+ down one of the busiest streets in Detroit, which is what my childhood friend did(he's no longer with us)

200+ indicated on the 'Busa. It was a 2000 model before they speed limited them. I had dropped a couple teeth on the rear sprocket, air filter, full exhaust, Ivan's and a PCIII. It felt like it was still pulling when I let go of the throttle!

actual 140 at the drag strip

indicated 170 elsewhere.

Speaking of dragstrip, I'm hoping to get my 1st 1/4mi time next month in Charlotte at the Zymax dragstrip. I have run at our local 1/8th mile track quite a few times.
