Re: 190 mph (jbsblownc5)
Too bad everything is lit from the flash. Hard to tell kph/mph.
But the real crazy thing is the RPM!! 7100?? Plus the tach is normally SLOW in our car and is under by 100-200rpm. I guess it moves slowly at that speed? Guess he bumped up the rev lim!

Re: 190 mph (Mag Red Monster) That's What Happens when you turn the key on,
Looks like with all of the other lights light, it was when you turned the key on, on. Not that bad of a try.. you can fool some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people any of the time...... How to get your C5 to 190+ Get Camera ready, turn key on and click away, you too can go 200 MPH... LOL Nice thought anyway, Security light is on, seat belt light on, Service light is on, use photo shop to edit and you might have had better results. See you on the track, you must be that guy turning 9.90's with a totally stock car also.

Re: 190 mph (stavanger)
Hmmmm, I wonder what it feels like to do 190 in your driveway? This is what 170 mph looks like when you try and snap a photo going that speed. Trust me it's really hard to get a clear shot.
This is what my speedo looks like in my driveway

Re: 190 mph (stavanger)
It's the old "turn the key trick" What a flocking insult to the intelligence. You can join the :bs club here easily. Got any quick and easy, ultra HP mods or over priced ones? You'd fit right in.

Re: 190 mph (jbsblownc5)
I've snapped high speed shots before and they always come out fuzy. I knew something was up. Too many sharp gearheads to fool on this forum, go show that to riceburner.com and you'll be their hero for life.
