Ya, Nebraska has a lot of them. Maybe not tall mountains, but enough that you can't see far enough to drive 150+ on most roads there. Plenty of State Highway's in the state that between terrain and animals I would be reluctant to go 100+, let alone 150+ Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quote HistoryQuoted: For all that extra airflow, engine's still running a tad warm!  Oversized Radiator and Steeda Race hood to keep it cool. Missing the lower valance cover under the radiator. I’m also running a Meziere electric water pump. It gives better cooling at low speeds and at idle over an engine driven water pump but less than a stock one at high rpm. The only advantage is that if I lose a blower belt I can get off the highway so that I’m not working on the car with cars flying by me. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 185 is getting shit done! Serious question- what would Mounties (or whatever) do to you in Canuckada for that? In Quebec that would be a 30 demerit point ticket. You lose your license for 15 demerit points. Then he will most likely lose enough points where he may lose his licence for 3 months and then another 6 months assuming he has a clean record to start with. He will probably have to go pass his driving test again also. On top of that in Quebec if you get a ticket which, on a highway is more than 60 kph (37 mph) over the limit, it is considered excessive speeding which has a 10-30 point penalty. If you get a second excessive speeding within 10 years it’s a 1 year suspension. I did that speed in a state where they have no reciprocity with my home province and the statue of limitations has run out yet I will not mention the state. I did however get a ticket in a neighboring state for 92 mph and it was only $200.00.

I have an uncle who retired from the Nebraska State Patrol.
I remember him telling me about a car that they had just added to their "fleet" (or whatever it was called) which, as I understood it at the time, was essentially the equivalent of something that could compete in the fastest NASCAR events. The primary purpose of that vehicle was to be able to engage in high speed pursuits. Basically, that was its whole reason for being. This was in the 80's. |

I know my LFP 800 Mustang can outrun any police unit in the area, but I can't outrun their radio so I behave. A felony for driving too fast is a stupid way to go out. Maybe once guns are illegal and everyone is a criminal, I'll give it a try.

I have seen 174 GPS verified with the current drive line in it before I chickened out and backed off. It was surprisingly well behaved, but I had questions in my mind about my 5 year old tires at that speed.

Z rating only means 149+ mph. The 105Y load rating gives the tire a load rating of 2,039 lbs per tire and a Y speed rating which is 186 mph. Today I’m replacing them with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. They will be heat cycled 3 times before any high speed shenanigans. |
