Mustang hits 150 m.p.h. on Colorado interstate; cops give up chase

[JuiceTheGator]

That pony will eat the beemer off the line, and it would prolly take 3 miles to catch it....
If It could.

I'd hope so. That cheap BMW weighed as much as a Lincoln Town Car with that hard top convertible. It was an old lady in the sun car!

all cars should have governors installed. No one needs to go 150 mph

If you don't want to go 150, don't go 150.
Not for you to dictate others.
Ever have to outrun a tornado?
Call me after you have had your car "on the governor" wishing it wasn't equipped with such.

what if I don't want the other guy to go 150 and endanger me because he is breaking the law?

seems like a isolated extreme circumstance to have to drive away from a tornado. Sounds like you have watched Twister too many times.

If thats the case... beemer has no chance.

"drivin' fast is a Constitutional Right!"

"drivin' fast is a Constitutional Right!"

What fun is a dragstrip with a governed car?

 

[JuiceTheGator]

Now-a-days it appears we even need nanny state, fascist input in the car forum.

"drivin' fast is a Constitutional Right!"

Negative, it is dangerous.
But in places where the road goes on forever in places like the west it's exciting.
Hell I have topped out over 130 in Massachusetts on a sport bike in the middle of the night.

probably about as fun as a dragstrip with an ungoverned one

not very

Which is why you should stay away from the 1/4 mile.

should we just cheer for this criminal who put other's lives in danger?

Don't approve? Tough. It's a blast to see them run, I and many others really like the sport.

There are many things I don't want other people to do.
I don't want people allergic to nuts to be around me while I eat nuts.
I don't want pregnant mothers around me while I enjoy a couple of cigarettes.
I don't want teetotaler's around me while I am buying my wife some booze.
I don't want lollygaggingassfaggots in the fast lane while I am enjoying that V8 sound.

Mostly...
I don't want control freaks around me while I am being me.

I can think of many times not having a governor could be a safety issue. Yes, I do live where tornadoes are prominent.
Once was too many times to watch twister.

speeding is against the law

speeding is against the law

Yup.
And driving distracted should be.

if you want to take the governor off for a drag strip, then the car is not street legal. Simple solution.

If you get pulled over driving a car with the gov off, you go to jail.
