It probably takes a month to get there though.

OK, I know it's not C-4 related, but a reminder to not only be responsible ourselves, but also to watch out for idiots like this. Worst part was he had 3 passengers! 
Oneida, N.Y. (AP) - State police say a Westchester County man was drunk when he was clocked driving more than 150 mph before crashing on an upstate New York road.
Authorities say troopers patrolling in Madison County were passed by a 2005 Dodge Neon SRT-4 traveling at a high speed early Sunday morning.
Police say the troopers' radar gun measured the car doing 153 mph.
The troopers turned on their emergency lights, but the driver failed to stop. The car eventually hit a guide rail at an intersection in Oneida, 25 miles east of Syracuse.
Police say 20-year-old Shane Crolick of Bedford Corners was charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless endangerment and traffic violations.
Crolick and three passengers weren't injured. He was released on $5,000 bail.

It's terrible that idiots like that are on our roads with our families out there. I have to disagree with the speed of that Neon though. Sorry, but 150 mph is NOT possible in one of those things in stock street form and they cannot cruise at that speed in stock form either no matter how many decals and stripes are on it.

Holy crap. 150 on a public highway, at night, and drunk. His friends/passengers are lucky to be alive. I bet that SRT4 wasn't stock and he was poorly showing off. I'm pretty sure they have a 95 or 120mph governor on the them.

Nice article, but I don't think that car is safe enough or stable enough to EVER drive at speeds like that. Personally, I think the guy who wrote those "facts" was dreaming. It's just a scrappy little grocery getter if you ask me.

Now as to acceleration, weight has a huge impact.....
