Stick a set of JATO packs on the roof & it'd do that speed, but it'd only do it ONCE! :D

JATO ='s Jet Assisted Take Off rocket packs. Used for getting C130 Hercules off the ground in very short spaces.

A guy in the US tried this very same trick in an old Chev. He got plenty of speed (500km/h+ from memory?) but after attempting to brake (brakes cook & failed instantly!) the car lifted off the road & hit a cliff face @ full speed.

It is very unlikly that the Camera could pick that speed, I've seen some camera's used on F111's on take off and the are quite blury, let alone a domestic type speed camera

That JATO system sounds interesting, never seen that in use, the C130 takes off in pretty short distance already.

If you want to see a JATO rocket in action on a car have a look at the movie "Cannonball Run" the police car that spins out in the desert has one mounted east west across the car to put it into a spin. The stuntman drove along at 50mph and then hit the go button......its an awesome spin it goes into....I don't think they ever used this set up again!!!

first of all.....the speed camera must have been made in some eastern country...second of all even if he DID reach those speeds..he cant cop the g-forces and the cops wont be able to catch him cos he will be in a totally different country by thetime they reach there car and turn it on..third of all...even if he did reach those speeds...how the f*ck could he have been stopped....fourthly there is no street long enough in malaysia for a car to reach those speeds...fifth the wind resistance would cause great resistance..thus a road car wouldnt have the rigidity to cop such resistances..it would probably break up into peices at that stage just like a space shuttle re-entering the earths surface ata an angle to deep......and the list goes on....

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
