Almost top end

Take a look at the pic I took of my GPS. I was resetting the trip computer when I noticed max speed, I had done a fast run previous to resetting the trip.

maybe if you want us to believe you , turn on the digital speedo, and snap a pic of it at 169mph and the analog speedo pegged. even then though its easy to photoshop that

That's not faster than my helicopter Fepony. Maybe that GPS reading was taken while one of us were slinging it.

Took another pic of it today, not photoshopped, underline not!

My truck does do this speed, been clocked, although I have had the gps in a jet last year at about 620mph. Can't look down at the speedo or the gps at anything over 120, got to concentrate on the road.

Harley356, I've been registered since 1999, I had a 1998 red 50th anniversary edition, you might have seen it on the net or on this site, I photoshopped that one with a VW in the back. Never had to spend any money on the 98, zero problems. I haven't posted much, mostly read posts, plus I don't have the time you guys do. Seems like all you guys do is post here and Zaino your trucks, LOL. I mostly drive mine...

You have to believe it's a vehicle of some type for the simple mathematics of the equation. Total moving time is ~ 4.66 hours, distance covered while moving is less than 200 miles. The average speed shown is 42.4mph. This is virtually impossible in an aircraft (short of a mini-prop glider). I believe this as possible under ideal conditions (i.e. straight downhill run with a favorable tailwind).

As to the request for taking a picture of the speedo while doing 169 mph ... that's even dumber than going that fast to begin with.

So who can do 200mph?
