Point is...it shouldn't need to be put out there....but I guess you missed that.

What do my gears have to do with being a tool on the road?
why shouldn't it need to be put out there ?

you have nothing to worry about, cuz your gearing ratio on your s2000 prevents you from maintaining any high speeds on higways.

then why were you questioning the task at hand?

Because they can't watch every car, all the time, at every location with 4 eyes.....

Again, it falls back the the drivers to be RESPONSIBLE.....

LOL

his car easily hit 125 MILES PER HOUR.

he can proabably hit 150 miles an hour....his car revs about 1000 rpms higher than a stock car.

so he'll run out 1000 revs in 6th gear before a stock car.

EXACTLY!!!!

Simon at any particular speed my car will rev 1,000 rpm more than a stock car....at some point, I will be in vtec (while your not) and I see no point in driving around in vtec on the street constantly...it's just stupid so I don't do it....it doesn't mean my car can't do it...

well coming back on the QEW that day, i was under the impression that due to the over revving experience, you were forced to do a slower speed..

it appears i am incorrect, which i do apologize for..

so marco, your car is capable of doing a constant 130kmh to 140kmh on any highway from say a distance from Welland to Mississauga ?
