I got pulled over in my 66 Mustang Fastback once. He said son I clocked you doing 82 in a 55. I said " well sir I'm not trying to be disrespectful BUT it is mathematically impossible!" You see I have a 3.50:1 rear end ratio with a 2.78.1 first gear also with 26" tall tires and the rpm chip in the MSD is set at 6000 RPM. I'm sorry officer but it's not possible given I hadn't even made it to third gear! Mathematically it's impossible. He said well I just saw a red car accelerating at a high rate and you just need to slow it down. Yes Sir!
