Hey Ruslow, there's a guy here in town with an '02 that says he clocked his L at 165 with a digital gauge. Stock 3.73 gear, works 112 blower @14 psi on stock bottom end. Is this possible...it sounds far fetched.

The question I have for you is....did you take this picture while going that fast????
And I thought that women putting on make up while driving down the freeway was crazy.

taking a pic of the speedo at that speed isn't that bad compared to the guys who videotaped it going that fast 
there were a few videos posted a while back with somebody steering with one hand and video taping with the other

It just depends how stupid you are? If you are as dumb as me you are going to get one mandatort court apperance (MCA) and a ticket by the same cop all in under 4 hours apart.

the cop wrote 160+ so i could just pay it underneith he wrote the actual speed so if i wanted to fight it the judge would see it and i would probily lose my licence for 2 years.

Heck bluelightning,
All you had to do was tell the judge your speedo was off a bit and you thought you where only going 65.
