Is it any better than the 640 HP PML?

Crikey - I remember sitting at my high school library back in 1987 reading in some motor mag about the Oldsmobile record run.

Probably assuming that we would shift gear with the penis.

“You are a civilization who pretend to be warriors. We are warriors who pretend to be a civilization!”

I did not know that, fantastic!

Have you read the SciFi books by Iain Banks?

We don’t have those. They seem to be an exclusively US thing.

Do you know the term “virtue signaling”? Wherein someone in a social context loudly profess to adhere to the publicly sanctioned morale? While not necessarily living by those tenets themselves when nobody is looking?

Did you know that a fast bike does 0-150-0 km/h in about 170 meters?

I know of at least one straight road that was designed an emergency landing strip for airplanes outside a military base where I used to live. Half mile of wheat fields on both sides, road is straight to the horizon. You can land a 747 there.

We can do the math if you will:

Now that you mention it, I did swap the 16-tooth front cog for a 17-tooth, because it hit the rev limiter at top speed.

Oh, recent superbikes do over 200 km/h in first gear.

Yep. I shall now celebrate the deed by eating cookies.

You weren’t there, so stop judging.

Thank you, this was exactly what I needed to read.

My personal record is five times the speed limit.

Heh,

I see a grand total of one (1) thing that could classify as an ad - “Popular deals on The Inventory”.

Came here to say precisely this. I have seen all sorts of logic gymnastics from people convincing themselves that a new car is a great idea.
