Is this a restriction on the 'freedom' to write 'stuff'? Yes, but then, do you think in court, 'Harolds' - or women against war types, as jury, would care? Legal warning again, folk *must* be very cautious when it comes to posting what it is they get up too on public roads on what are public forums. I modified the Monaro because I simply wanted a Monaro the way I would have liked Holden to have built it.:flipoff: Most probably someone else too, not yourself. People modify all sorts of cars for all sorts of reasons, but to assume it is your "right" to drive flat out on the road, in the name of "fun", will put someone in the ground one day. Here's this thread talking about around 240!Ĭomments like yours, suggesting that the fun police are spoiling peoples pleasure in life, simply show you to be a selfish idiot. Two loads of young people were recently killed in Victoria doing "just" 160km/h approx, one lot on the massively open and clear visibilty Westgate Freeway. I'll add you to the idiot class that condone this on public roads then obviously. dare i say that was more dangerous than doing the double ton in a commodore that can actually handle it I've never been so frightened in my life as taking my old datsun 1200 upto 135kph down a hill once. i think everyone does it at least once in their car owning life!!! having wound it out to 245kph on one stretch of very public road for no reason other than the fact he wanted to see how fast it'd go.ĭoesn't sound too unfamiliar really. I had a friendly police officer tell me in victoria that his VE SS cop bus was too slow. manufacturers trying to seem more responsible? I think limiters now are becoming more common. its quite cool to think that an auto VZ Maloo is the worlds fastest ute at 270 something. We do build fast car's here for little money. Imagine how fast the tailshaft is spinning at 280kph with a 3.9 ratio diff. imagine the speeds those poor little bearings and gears are going at inside the thing!!! I can also understand the box getting a little noisy after that kinda thing.
thats the fun part, the feeling of being pinned into the seat getting upto those speeds. i guess then the only thing to do is see how fast you can GET to the limiter.
Apparently there is some gentlemans aggreement between the euro car builders atm that most of the german sports stuff have 250kph speed limiters.Ī lot of big european luxo barges have the limiter set at 250. It would be hearsay anyway.Īnyway was on an autobahn in Germany recently while on holiday and thought he'd open her up, topped out at 280kph and whilst doing this passed a fair few exotics. Just an obsivation but I thought if your going to buy a big V8 to look good why bag others for actually using it.Īs for the dude who said that the authorities could use this against you, yer right.Įasy to defend "sorry I was just mouthing off, I would never really do that officer". Like all the guys that rush out and buy the Liter Bikes and then go out for Cappichinos on Chapel Street (Prahran), they only ever wear a strip down the centre of there tirers and would never have the balls to actually lay it down in a bend. Is it just that you want to look good and have people think your a speed demon but in reality your not. The fun Police also turn up on these forums also, I never quite got why you would own a preformance car or bike and then bag people in a forum designed for people with this kind of intrest for "Going to fast". New to this forum as I have just upgraded my car to a VE Calais V, but I am a member of the XR6 Turbo forum (Old Car) and a heap of Bike forums my favorite being the R1 forum I have an 06 R1 as well. That's right, because of forum members doing stupid acts like this! Now what was it some of us have said in the past about why forums will NEVER be taken seriously in the "real world".? I'm sure your family and friends would be pleased to know that you were only endangering your own life with this stupidity, if something had actually sent you off the road, like a local farmer pulling out onto that quiet road, or a roo jumping in front of you for example. A long way to go to test the rev limiter, but closer than Germany. Next time I do it, I"ll go on one of the Autobahns in Europe. The only ones in danger were the bugs on my front window, any rabbit, fox or kangaroo that decided to wander on the road and.oh, myself. No chance of a head-on and no cars for miles ahead so planted it. Got to 237 and thought that was enough and didnt even look at RPM as I didnt want to take my eyes off the road any longer than I had to. Nope, South Eastern Freeway, Murray Bridge to Adelaide.
