so seems us limo drivers arnt speed limited..
just incase terrorists chase us or the paparazzi when we are carrying sombody important..

but you MAY not make it home if the tail shaft self destructs.. but in the process of it all shooting out the back of your car.. should disable the people chasing you and you will be safe once again haha!!

yes but that wasn't at 200 + Ks at that speed it could do anything and a funeral would be a big possibility

i had the same feeling with my fairmont, it kept pushing for more, although i didn't give it!! i pulled off, i wasn't comfortable at that speed ...

this thread just shows there are still idiots that will drive at stupid speeds on the road. i just hope that when one of you f&$kup ( and you will)you don't kill anyone else. this is the sort of thing that gives car clubs and modified cars a bad name. well done guys

I think that with all these "private road" speeds we can all be assured that if the main road network falls apart there will be plenty of private roads out there to allow us to drive from Perth to Melbourne to Cairns at really stupid speeds.
