The papers and news websites are making a big deal of the fact he was doing 159 mph, however that was on an empty motorway at night. In my opinion the far more serious offence (is that moustache lol) is the fact he was doing 91 in a 30 zone and imho that is inexcusable!

V6 Twin Turbo. Used to be the 220 BHP 2.5 they used in the flagship Kalibra (or how ever you spell it) I believe the same lump has been bored out to 3.0ltr TT and 260 BHP limited to 160 MPH.

 

The car was a 3.2 non turbo if I recall, there was a big thing about it on the cavweb forum at the time, and it would do about 155mph top end in standard form. I don't think it was a cop car but his own or one on trial by the police at the time.

 

The 2.5 and 3.0 are single turbos and go into the Saabs but at the time of his trial VX didn't have a turbo model, and I think the only turbo engine they did (now I could be wrong) was the 2.0.

 

Sorry to be anul

The fact that we hate is that we get done for speeding in crap ways. I got caught doing 39 in a 30 and I thought it was a 50 so in my mind I was going slow! Then he goes 160 and 90 in a 30! (I mean thats over double my speed!) and gets away with it. With a crap excuse too. They also argue that he's a highly trained professional. *****cks! So does that mean we should allow Michael Schumacher to go as fast as he wants too?

 

To be fair, if caught no one should get away with speeding since it is the law. It's the fact that the very people who get us for it do it themselves.

 

"the fact that the very people who get us for it do it themselves"

 

Now we all know how much that pisses people off, not just wih speeding but anything.

lol, I thought you'd chucked your computer off a tall building.
