Post Taken from another forum: Dude covers 84 miles in 34 minutes

I had to cover the speedo with paper because it caused really bad glare in the viewer. There is no limiter with the Hondata Reflash!

My Radar Detector lit up with Ka Band 3 times. Although I never actually saw any police lights. Please spare Me the flames, I know it was dangerous.. I only passed 4-5 cars on the road. I can only imagine what they were thinking as all they would have seen was nothing and heard a really loud K20! LOL

average speed was 148 mph according to the math, It was somewhere between 6500-7500RPM the whole way I think, I did not use a stopwatch so 34 minutes is my best estimate using the clock on my Radio. THe car used almost 3/4 tank of gas! I did not pay much attention to anything other than the road because at those speeds a small error can be disaster.

Im sure a cop would have thought his radar was malfunctioning had He seen those speeds pop up.. There was no moon and The car was in stealth mode.





Damn ricers.....

I dont get it either. What is the point? You cant even claim bragging rights. Its stupid.

I remember that (fake) story about a guy in Lambo who drove from La to Las Vegas with night vision goggles. Then of course all the variations of the same story.



And why would you post this online, mapping your entire route!!?? If your dumb enough to this, then your dumb enough to get caught.

Nothing like perpetuating the stereotype.

The wife took the F for a cruise up to her parents a couple of weeks ago....and called me all po'd about some Honda driver that kept pushing her to race....lol.

Now even she notices how ridiculously bad they are on the road.

He's definitely from New Mexico. The plate is a New Mexico plate. What's interesting is that particular road is usually crawling with cops. It sits between a couple of Military bases. It's also a well known highway for it's traffic fatalities. Was a VERY dangerous road before they widened it a few years back.

The guy is a moron. I actually think his car is pretty nice though. Good looking Civic Si. He should just let his car do the talking instead of pulling stupid stunts like that. Oh well, for the car, for the nut behind the wheel.
