I overtook a convoy on a straight stretch this week. All I can say is its very easy to break the speed limit unintentionally in this car. You just need to keep an eye on that HUD.

There are those of us who have ........ and those of us who wont admit it.

Stay safe.

the worst thing is i feel real crappy about it, but it was my foot on the gas pedal, no one elses. i do enjoy the push into the seat with speed,but its just not worth the cost, and you dont realise the cost until you are court

It depends on the road as to how dangerous it was, but that's not very fast actually. 97mph on my rough calculation.

It should be pointed out that this guy was only caught doing 156 kilometers per hour...that's something like 80-85mph. No big deal unless it was in a school zone???
