That statement wasn't nearly as rediculous as the bolts popping out of the floor during the "10 second" (20 second) drag race.

Yeah I know. I still can't help quoting it whenever the opportunity presents itself though.

This would only be possible if you are talking about km/h, not m/h.

168 mph indicated on your tach and 7000 rpms are only possible if you've changed your tire size, your gearing, or your clutch is slipping a ton, but somehow allowing your engine to turn less rpms than necessary for the given vehicle speed (it's usually the other way around).

Double check, but don't get yourself killed in the process!
