Keith what were the details of this 171 mph official run? You didn't have the lawn tractor out again did you?

It was in Minnisota Murray. An SS Camaro. Cop had to turn it up to 135 just to get close enough that the guy could see his squad car lights. He did pull over though. I didn't see that here on the forum. I has already heard about it.

Wanna race. Nothing runs like a Deere.

It was posted on Jalopnik. Although, I think the picture they use is from the movie Fargo.

Camaro clocked at 171 mph on Highway 61

Besides the stupidity of the driver, I think the big auto news is, was it stock and if so GM is sandbagging the numbers!

hmmmmmm.... not so sure of that smack.... that would be about the limit but the SS after 2009 had the LS3 engine. same as my 09 C6 had. And while a heavier car and not as slippery, I don't think 171 is out of place.

Right but Chevy states top end is 160

The Camaro SS is electronically speed limited so I guess I stand corrected Smack, as the 'stock' GM tune has to be modified to bypass the limiter. Without a canned or custom tune, the car won't see 171. With the tune, the Camaro still has a GM installed speed limiter... it's called 'drag coefficient' and 'tub-a-lard'... lol.......

So, if the radar states you are going 171, but the car is electronically limited to 160 proving that the radar is off, could you possibly have the ticket/coupon thrown out?

 

[Rruuff Day]

Hey.... Great idea Riley... He can argue that the radar was wrong and he was only doing 160... that should reduce his jail time by a day or so......

 

[Riley P]

Hahaha. I was more thinking of the lawyers who try to use any inconsistency in any part of the evidence to get the entire case thrown out, guilty or not.
However, should the case not get thrown out, and if this were in Canada, that difference between 160 mph and 171 mph should save $18 off the ticket....Woo!
