190 in a Gallardo? I think not

Well, the factory claims 196. :shrug
It sure didn't look like stuff was "going by" fast enough to be doin' 190 in that clip though...

They were going fast, but I know high speeds pretty well, which you can vouch for, and the Gallardo has the most optimistic speedo in the world. Any low production car will have speedo variances, but I've never been in anything with such a huge disparity.
We'll definitely hook up the GPS next week in the G.
As for that video? Whatever speed they were going, doing it in traffic isn't a great idea, and there's absolutely no way a G accelerates from 170 to 190 in the roughly 7-8 seconds they indicate in the video. I don't doubt that the speedo said 190 though.

Hmmmmmmmm...I do believe someone expressed similiar sentiments in a thread that was subsequently "locked" to preserve the peace... so I 'shant' go there.
But, I will say it's a good thing nobuddy just "outta the blue" decided to change lanes...

I was not aware of this happening to another thread and yet one has to decide in life whether they support an action through of the process of saying nothing or step up to the plate and take what comes as the result of your opinion.
I clearly stated that it is only my opinion and yet to further my comment I would prefer that he/she not be exercising their gal in that manner around me.
In that situation there was no margin for error; sadly many folks quickly move the lane right of them without even thinking when they see someone coming up quickly behind them.
Well; enough of my rambling.
I enjoy as much as the next very QUICK and FAST gals and the very act of exercising them however I attmept (subjectively speaking I know) to keep the associated risk to myself.
All the best

Yes! look at the point when 180-190 was called out, if one of the suvs on the far left decided to move to the middle lane, the only people viewing that video would be the jury in a wrongful death suit!

Well.... I have to agree with Shadowman.
If you want to run that hard there are places you can do it.
I am done.

Too bad I don't know of any in my area. Maybe I should take a trip to Fresno?
BTY, Bony you need to take a trip more often so that I may close on the gap between our post counts. Most of my gains during your absents was made up by you early this morning! Don't you have a backlog of real work to do?

So, you show a Feynman Diagram! Are you a physicist?

Out of practice... Did a small share of quantitative astrophysics work for NRAO in West Virginia, as well as some physics studies for the NWS locally. But, my schooling was more in engineering then in physics...
I enjoy reading/listening physics lectures, and quantum theory books... and for some reason, the other day, I was thinking of Feynman diagrams, so I switched to that as a signature... I shouldn't be surprised somebody recognizes it
Lately, I have been molding my profession away from technical to business... and my technical mind has gone slightly mushy.
