police?
So, I've only heard one story of any police interaction with SVX'ers before/during/after the meet, and that didn't even result in a ticket. Did we really get 76 SVX's to indiana without any fines?
On a.. *ahem* related note, I heard various folks were "exploring" the upper limits of the SVX speedo - so I wanna know who holds the 10th Anniversary Meet for maximum speed obtained. Heh. -Colin |

I'm impressed that (as far as I've read) no early model trannys went "tango uniform" and arrived on a flat bed.

guilty as charged...
Well since you brought it up....
I was stopped for speeding in Kansas; about 40 miles west of Topeka. Was I speeding? yes....did I deserve a ticket?.....yes Five minutes earlier, he could have had me for over 100... 91 in a 70....I'll just pay the fine ($154) and forget about it... First ticket in 17 years.... no big deal.... "It hurts my motor to go so slow"

I hit 115 on Indiana I-85 trying to catch the group on the way to the Indy museum. My ultimate goal was to bury the needle somehow, somewhere on my way back home. More about that later. Ron.

Chris (SVXMAN2001) took my car to somewhere around 120 or so while we were there. He had never had his svx over 85 or something like that. Fun fun and scarey.

Lwin ps. I speed like a maniac. But I do it when they are not watching or when they can't do a thing about it.

On the way to the Indy SPeedway Museum when all the cars were in line. When I broke away from the pack to get infront and take some video I pushed 120 MPH. I was nervous as hell and you could tell from the video. My hands were shaking while I was taking the video. Like that I remeber the adrenaline surging through my veins after the high speed dash!!!

testing the speedo
I havn't done this in a bit, which explains why I can't remember if it's 130 or 140 but here goes. My 94 LSi tops out at either 130 or 140 but as memory serves, if I pull the shifter back to 3rd, with the pedel still floored, it creeps past the 130 (or 140) to about 135 or so. Dropping it back to fourth and it gradually slows back to 130 (or 140) Is this an electronic limiter? The engine never misses a beat and the car was rock steady. The revs? Again, memory wants to say about 5 grand or so?
Remember, I very much enjoyed the '70's so some key brain cells may be out to lunch. This explains why I did this in the first place or can't remember more details, who knows.

An SVX wimp
never had my SVX over 75mph so far, only been on the open highway the day I bought it.
B Bolt - I think you're doing quite well. My wife swears I took her to a Crosby/Stills/Nash concert that I don't even remember buying tickets for, much less attending. |
