I zipped past 100mph a few times...checking tire balance...in Montana of course... ?
As a crazy teenager with a Roadrunner living in Calgary, Alberta, Montana was our version of Phil’s Ford test track - no posted speed limits and no open container laws - Whaaaaat?!?! Well, at least that’s what was rumoured.

110, I beleive you can raise it with tuning.
Not popo here (although I do support the good ones...which *most* are---there are arseholes in every field).

I've had it above the legal limit, but below that particular number. Just was curious how much more headroom I had.... LOL

130 km/h (about 80 mph) on highway 407 Monday thru Thursday evenings, soccer dad at work.

I get passed by a lot of other vehicles so I think/hope I’m good…

This toll highway is smooth, you would think you were only doing 120…

I hit 115 out in the desert where there was no-one around. Being tuned it pushes the rev limiter out but not sure how far as I let off at 115. This was for research purposes of course. :inspect:

Careful. That's getting past ludicrous speed. Next thing you know, you will have gone plaid!

The supposedly unwritten rule for speed enforcement over the limit by GA HP is:

Nine you're fine, Ten you're mine.

Don't know how true this is though.
Law only permits State Troopers from making traffic citations for 1-10 MPH.

You'll perk my attention at 15+ depending the type of road, but generally I'm not activating blue lights unless someone is 20+, even then it may be a warning depending on traffic density, time of day, what kind of area it is, etc etc.

30+ it better be a good story.

Sometimes, but not always I will travel the interstate in my personal vehicle 1-14 over. The only tickets I've ever written for 11-14 over were because I made a discretionary decision to reduce the charge (something that happens in court commonly) when they were actually traveling at much greater speed. Its a way to slap someone on the wrist who needs it without hitting them to heavily with fines and points on their license.

But you do have some cops who are traffic enforcement robots.

I am not a robot, much to the butt-hurt surprise of some members here. Sometimes I don't use my turn signals either if there are not other cars on the road with me. The horror I tell you.

Seems like from 70 to the Outer Limits (using your number) takes between 5-9 seconds or so I've "heard"... Couldn't tell for sure cause the tunnel vision and G forces sort of narrow the conscious surroundings:crazy:?
