In Reply to: A S2K in KC has vanity plate "171 MPH"... posted by SL on August 07, 2000 at 09:43:25:


which IMO is a good way to *really* inspire a cop to give you a ticket when you're already driving exactly the type of car that attracts their attention. What an insecure idiot. Might as well say "SMALPNIS" :-)


For those who think it's bull that S2000 hit 170mph top speed, check this out:
http://mrtg.nlu.edu/video/s2000.153mph.mpg

As you can see from the video, in 6th gear on the S2000, every 500rpm gives 10mph increase(that's just like our M I believe), he hit 143@7500rpm, 153@8000rpm where he let off, which indicates a 173@9000 redline if he had kept going.

Now, I don't know why he let off, but the video looks legit to me, so it really should hit 173 top speed that way.
Still a doubter? :)
