      one big question

      hi all,
      you know, i live here in Luxembourg / europe, and i can go for high speed games on the german autobahn. just 30 miles from here away.
      now my big question.
      why did you build big, fast engines, fast and cool cars ?
      you have a speed limit


      please tell me where do you can go for high speeds ? just closed areas ?


      greets

      Backroads! We installed a new cam in my uncle's 2007 Z06 Vette this past weekend and I had it close to 150mph before I shied off the throttle.

      The speed limit is there so everyone has the oppertunity to act out their police chase fantasies.
      That gives the police the oppertunity (and through tickets, the money) to buy fast police cars instead of boring fwd stuff.
      Which in turn, increases the need for bigger and faster cars to outrun the cops with.

      there's no speed limit in Montana. Going faster than is "prudent" is a 5 dollar fine or something. (Roadtrip!!!)

      For one who enforces the law you dont need to worry about speeding tickets.

      The rest are on there own haha

      Yeah, all of our female cops have 'tramp stamps' Makes getting pulled over all worthwhile.
