Re: How fast have you been in your Crossfire?
Don't know if this applies but,
Today I'm getting on I-70 in St Charles MO. It's a long ramp, up hill and I see a slot in the traffic about halfway up. I get on it in my roadster and jam gears. At fourth, I make two observations, I'm at 80 MPH plus and there is a State trooper in my rear view mirror.
He pulls me over and asks me if I know how fast I was going in a 60 MPH zone. I said I couldn't have been going too fast, I was only in fourth. He grinned and said " That don't impress me much, I have an '04 base coupe. It'll do 120 in fourth."
"Tell you what" he said, "keep it down around town." Then he grinned and said "happy April fools day" and got back in his car.
Here's my question for you tech guys that can do the math. Is that possible? My Tach says 3,000 at 57 MPH so I guess it is marginally attainable, just past redline.
I don't want to actually try it 'cause I think they still have the death penalty here in Missouri.
