Perhaps that vehicles injection might need servicing, or their inlet manifold is blocked? Or a number of things.

I knew a fella in WA that did just that while smoking whacky weed. He concluded his speedo was wrong, he was going very very fast and the weed empowered him to easily cope with the speeding as it heightened his awareness.
What was his name??... Let me guess......Hmmmmm,,, WA...... I know, it was mlc. :-P

For the record, I was NOT driving, no quick driver changing etc!!!!!! She cursed me for not warning her. Seriously, its a big F*&ken sign!!!!!!
Oh, I might add it was very funny when she started panicking with the blue lights. She asked me should she start crying. I just said she was a gonna and should hand in her license, with or without tears.
mlc - celibate, but not through choice.
Footnote. Bushy, if I was doing such speeds, I would engage the services of a multi talented Prado driver to drive and film the event at the same speeds. Do you know anyone with such skills?[B][COLOR=blue]Bitumen: A blatant waste of taxpayers money![/COLOR][/B]

for whatever its worth in this thread, i can't get mine to go over 158km/h. well, maybe it's more, but that's what the scangauge tells me anyway. 33"s and a 4" lift might be a factor. (ps. i live in the NT. Home of the open speed limit)SIK-120
