The stock speedometer becomes less accurate the faster you go. Please don't go "145" mph on a public road, regardless of what the actual speed is.

i thought that obd2 had more restrictions on the engine than obd1 because of stricter smog laws that began in 95-96. Out of all the 1/4 mile times that i have seen the best time by a stock GSR was 15.2 and that was a '95. I dont think i have seen an obd2 GSR hit low 15's, they usually go mid to high 15's. Of course driver skill is a big factor but ive seen a lot of Stock 95 and below gsrs hitting low 15s, while i have not seen a obd2 gsr do any better than 15.5. Not like its a big difference anyway.

Mr. Fat Booty
Your absolutely right about speed racing on a public road. However, it's a different story when you live in Germany (as I do) and all other cars on the autobahn are going 170mph. I'm talking all the cars you lust over. V12 Jags, BMW M class, Ferrari Modenas, Audi TT Turbo, and even seen a decked out Ruf Porsche. Over here if your not going at least 130 your holding up traffic.

I wish I lived there. It would be Autobahn everyday for me.

It says "new mexico" as your location, generally that doesn't lead one reading the post to believe that you're in Germany.

Mr. Fat Booty
Have you lived in the same location for your whole life? I didn't think so. Like I said I work for the government and I do move a lot.
