If one looks at the compared 30-50 and 50-70 times, that puts into question the consistency of testing and the drivers. The auto was done in auto mode, allowing for obvious downshifts. The manual performed in top gear. Very stupid comparison.

Not sure it wasn't very long next time I go by the road I'll see if I can measure the distance.. It would not go faster then that.. I pulled the camera out, took a picture and the flash was on and had to turn the flash off and then retake the picture.. It sounds a lot longer then it is, and at that speed probably not safe at all.. It seemed fast, but I've been over a certified 225 on busa's and a honest 173 on my GSXR 750. But it was not scary or nervous feeling or anything Quote:
There wasn't any wind, but it is a slight grade down hill.. It did 138 the other way back.. Next time I'll have GPS on and see what it actually is.. It was cold that night and I know air is more dense, so the engine made a little more power, but would the air be thicker and therefor harder to push through?? |
