Well.... NOPE!

Post #55,383 by folkert 10/7/02 8:41:54 PM Reply	Well.... NOPE! I have ummm... well... Here is WHAT I heard, at least: My Lancer puportedly has been seen above 130MPH... through the Downtown Grand Rapids "S"-curve... it was supposedly trading the lead with a Subaru WRX, which just so happens, the owner lives about 10 doors down from me... I believe, it took about 5 minutes to get from 44th street on the south end... to Ann Street on the north end... ~11 miles... Only thing I HEARD about the handling... was the rear-end was a bit filghty turning at speed... But, now really folks I don't KNOW who was driving my Lancer... but all I can say... is it is still in one piece. And it still runs great... Yes this Lancer has the "OZ Rally" package. Makes it have better downforce at speed... or so I have heard about that... `greg - Grand-Master Artist in IT, curley95@attbi.com -- [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry/\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!!!] Your friendly Homeland Security Officer reminds: Hold Thumbprint to Screen for 5 seconds, we'll take the imprint, or Just continue to type on your keyboard, and we'll just sample your DNA.`

The top speed of a Mazda MX6 Turbo is 142 mph (trust me)...and the guy managed to get in 2 drinks;-) There was another story about a trip to AC, a Santana concert and a red convertible Jag with an embarrassed driver. 142mph (trust me) Who would do anything like >that< I wonder.....

Over the lengthier route stealth required, that was ~ 93 mph average. (not moi; but less'n a cargo plane plucked him off the road - the times were noted door-door) Hmmm ever seen 130ish on a farming area blacktop with no lines, sometimes? But then, these sprints are Ok too, for getting the flavour of what it might be like to - Ashton Oh yeah it was on a Vincent - any extras for 2 wheels and no A/c?

Long term averages are separate stories...Copenhagen to The Hague would be on the list...but wheres the fun in that...since most of the trip was Audobahn...and thus legal ;) You were born...and so you're free...so Happy Birthday! _{Laurie Anderson} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]

More so than the Mitsubushi Colt, it seems...? If so, then you can ask around about the Colt, that info shouold be applicable to the Lancer too -- because the Lancer is basically just a Colt with a "backpack" in the form of a trunk/boot grafted on.

One of them a rather nice sports car that he didn't use most of the time. One night he was using it. Noticed that he had breezed past a police car doing well over double the speed limit. Soon noticed the police car disappearing in the distance. Also noticed that he was on a long interstate with no exits, and didn't have a hope in hell of getting away with this. He ditched the car. Hitchhiked home. Next morning a nice officer came to his door. "Do you own a ____." "Yes, why?" "Were you driving it last night?" "No, why?" "It was seen on I-5 doing 140 mph..." He runs down to his garage and asks the officer if it is OK. "Oh it is fine. Some kids just took it out for a joyride." This related to me as we were sitting in a car waiting for the nice officer to finish writing her her first speeding ticket in years. :-) Cheers, Ben "Career politicians are inherently untrustworthy; if it spends its life buzzing around the outhouse, it\ufffds probably a fly." - [link\|http://www.nationalinterest.org/issues/58/Mead.html\|Walter Mead]
