    For some reason didn't look like they were going no where near 145 mph lol. I've done a buck 30 in my 2011 gt and the lines are moving a wee bit faster then that.....well hell there solid at that speed lol.

    Not even close to the speed showing.

    Hes got an issue with speedo gearing/output shaft would be my guess.

    Car doesnt sound like its got much gear in it, doesnt build RPM quick enough.

    I had an EXP that went faster than he was going. He couldn't have been going more than 80-90mph. wrong gear on the speedo coupled with a rear gear change is the likely scenario. I sixth the motion to call it Bull$%&t:bouncy:

    Yeah, when I was young and stupid, I "buried" the needle on the 150 mph speedo in my '70 440 Six-Pack Challenger R/T, but that was with real low profile tires in back.

    Highway Patrol sitting on an overpass radar'd me at 136

    On this video ,on the street scenes I was just breaking 100 mph based on engine RPM when I let off of it and what it runs at the track at that same RPM.

    I have never thought that on the vid it looks like Im going that fast...but I was.
