Defence Counsel: So Mr Muzz67, can you tell me how fast my client was driving outside your house, on the night in question!

Muzz67: I know for a fact that the driver was going at least 130km/h.

Defence Counsel: And how do you know that!

Muzz67: A guy on the TradeMe messageboards said so.

I know it was a 130kmh because the pedestrian was found in four different peices at the crash scene.

muzz67, Jan 30, 9:41am
Yep, and that pedestrian may be my kid. Any thing useful to say RM!

174 in the Dore with 3 gears still to go

ola_bitchola1, Jan 30, 9:53am
yea but you have the torque to turn a better diff ratio the trueno will still wind out to over 200 and isnt sloppy at getting there running over 15psi

I used to pull 170 in 3rd in my 79 12a non turbo rx 7. Shit that car was alot of fun !

clark20, Jan 30, 12:30pm
From memory you are probably about right, 45-50 1st, 80-85 2nd, 120-130 3rd.

clark20, Jan 30, 12:34pm
Buy a can of white Hamerite and paint the footwells, it will make it look heaps better for not much effort

richardmayes, Jan 30, 2:03pm
Yes. This thread is not going to accomplish very much.

If you've seen the car, and you are really worried about anyone's safety, call the Police. Tell them what you've seen and give them the guy's number plate.

What good is it possibly going to do you, having some sort of pie in the sky discussion on here about what the theoretical max speed of the car in 3rd gear would be!

ola_bitchola1, Jan 30, 2:07pm
i have 2 and a half cans sitting in the workshop was planning to go it after the cage went in

muzz67, Jan 30, 3:50pm
Police not very interested unless they catch in the act. least I can now figure out when to launch my rock!

hi-ling, Jan 30, 4:13pm
Wow arent you cool.I can do 240kmh in 3rd in my busa with 3 gears to go

peacebird15, Jan 30, 7:27pm
Riding bikes around blissfully ignorant cages! probably all the time!

Can only make 200 on my blade

gunhand, Jan 30, 7:31pm
Aww man, I was going to say 160kph in first. You work out the rest LOL.
With 5 to go.

chris_051, Jan 30, 7:58pm
240kmh on the gsxr1000 with 3 to go churr

townie55, Jan 30, 8:04pm
Man, you guys are beginners.

I've sat in the project car in the garage that has been there for a few years now and still isn't going, making engine noises, and I reckon I could have hit 200k in 1st gear at least - with another three gears to go, of course.

And that's all without even opening the garage door.

neville48, Jan 30, 8:05pm

clark20, Jan 30, 8:24pm
