I used to set the cruise at 200kph in my 750i.
V12s really are the best. I don't know why I only have bad pictures of mine in winter mode.
156mph in a Dodge Charger..

Did you read and understand what you wrote? "Not condoning this guy’s speeding in any way, but if he didn’t actually harm someone… give him a ticket and be on your way." That's not at all ambiguous but it is a ridiculous stupid position.For being a smart guy, you sure didn’t read what I wrote.
But your response confirmed what I thought about your initial post. Have a good night
Here's my "smart guy" response - It is ridiculous to ignore the magnitude of his speed simply because he didn't actually hurt someone (this time). It's really simple, kinetic energy is what kills people and because KE = ½ mv^2 a car traveling at 155mph has 8x the kinetic energy of a car traveling 55mph in spite of the fact it's only traveling 3x faster and it has a much greater chance of killing someone than someone speeding at 10mph over the posted speed limit.

210 KPH (131 MPH) in the Volvo. That was fast enough.
Never took the BMW to top speed. Might have been faster.
V12s, firing a cylinder every 60 degrees of crankshaft rotation... It's magic.
Scott
Is that a flat-plane crank also?
A whole bunch of people in Ohio put a number on reckless operation but fact is, there is no number. It's 100% up to the officer's discretion. I see it all the time, "30 mph is reckless op", blah, blah, blah and as happens all too often, it's typical of the internet where people just repeat things until others believe it's fact.
Once you double the speed limit it becomes aOk I saw this out of Lansing, Michigan.. Guy in a 2020 Dodge Charger was stopped by the MSP for doing 156mph on I-496 in Downtown Lansing! I guess the limiter was removed? Wow.. guess he was late for an appointment?
Michigan State Police stop car going 156 mph on I-496
A trooper stopped a 2020 Dodge Charger for speeding 156 mph in a 70 mph zone on I-496 near MLK in Lansing.www.wilx.com
without the bread 
. I wouldn't try even 30 over unless I ran out of beta blockers and needed them stat.
The BMW M70 is not either. It is "more or less" two M25s with a common crank.
The ones I can think of offhand are the Ferrari V12s of old (V8s as well?) and the Mustang 5.2.
My porsche 911 was comfy around 140. I have driven 160 but it requires a lot lot more hp to get there. I love going fast, but prefer to be alone in a remote road.
In my mis spent youth I remember 2 am thru Pennsylvania on my kawasaki 1100 with cams and exhaust and domed pistons. I was sitting at 120 and went past a parked trooper. He sat a bit then turned on the lights. I went past 140 and was still on the gas, and I saw his lights drop off and he stopped. I said enough stupid and went to ten over and just kept driving. Nobody waiting for me up the road.

I've had my GT500 up to about 82 on a public road
Mine was very light above 120 until I took a dremel to the fender liners. As delivered the Carrera dumped the hot air from the radiators under the car. Allowing them to vent into the fender well transformed the high speed handling.
The area he was driving in is the loop near down town with a fair amount of traffic. He also violated driving with a restricted license, so this is not his first encounter with haphazard living.
It's a tough call about when to give someone a break. The murderer who recently did the mass shooting at Michigan State University was given a break in 2019 when he was arrested for illegal gun possession, target practiced in a residential area, and had a history of mental challenges. You can't throw every first offender in jail. I suppose perfection in prosecuting is not possible.

Smells like tyranny.
Yeah, what SubyRubyRoo said. No victim, no crime. You belong in MA for sure.
Typo right? You meant 182......right?
I bet many of you have never watched some police chase videos out of Arkansas on YouTube....
Yeah, the moment I see the word "tyranny" I'm reminded how happy I am to live my really awesome, happy, peaceful, and prosperious life in MA while many of my fellow Muricans complain and blame "tyranny" for their crap lives.

LOL, I also have an awesome, happy, peaceful, and prosperous life, so I'm not sure why you're assuming. Just because you can't recognize the erosion of your freedom for an illusion of safety, doesn't mean I'm somehow a miserable person.
Will software allow you to engage cruise control at 135?
