Hey ALSRAC, you might want to photoshop out that date stamp, But nice job including the reflection in the photoshop work.
The helicopter pilot is a smart car owner here is So Cal. Really nice guy!

You guys are great with photoshop!

Come to think of it the story I wrote about doing 98MPH is pure fiction meant to help promote smart Madness and the many performance accessories we offer. In no way do we use or recommend doing any modifications to your vehicle unless you are using it for "Off Road Use Only".

Phew! LOL!

I've had mine to a GPS indicated 93 MPH... it's not hard at all to hit that going with traffic around here... I usually sit on the beltway at a comfortable 75-80 with traffic it seems.

And then you wonder why you're only getting 30mpg?

The fastest I drove mine was on the way home from the dealership. It was a warm day, my first convertible, in a new car that sits up MUCH higher than my previous Saturn(s).... I was just keeping up with (ok, occasionally passing) the traffic on the thruway and enjoying the ride. Then I looked down and went "CRAP!" as I saw I was going about 85ish!

During that drive home I decided I really needed to get cruise control, or at least some form of governor. I was happy to discover the only cruise module available at the time, the MDC module, had both though at a steep price. I can tell you it was worth the price vs the tickets I'd have gotten by now without it though.

It tends to be off on the + side, which is good for folks that tend to speed.
Right on the money; for those that think they're doing 95 or better, if the ECU hasn't been altered to remove the electronic limiter.... you're not.

About 94mph at 6am on the freeway. Removed speed limit is very nice for those early morning road trips

Exactly. Most cars are off by 1 to 2 MPH. The most accurate is going to be Laser/Radar or GPS.
