Well the other night I was traveling home from Maitland. (A small town about 48kms from my home town of Singleton). I was just leaving the township of Branxton that is just out of Maitland when I noticed this F100 truck pulling a horse float was right up my rear bumper. I was doing the posted limit of 60kph. Anyway he was trying to push me to go faster, so I slowed down ever more to **** him off. Now he puts his high beam on and starts using his horn. I then put my foot down and felt the power of the VG30E engage and got up to 130kph. I was now in the 100kph zone on the HWY and he was now trying to chase me. He got right up behind me again, so I tryed the windscreen washer trick. That’s when you turn the washer part on and all the water rushes over the windscrreen and sprays off over the top of the car and all over the car behind you. It worked he backed off. But then again he came at me again, and now I was starting to get sick of his high beam. He already was over taking cars and driving like a idiot to keep up with me. So now I could see that I was not far from Singleton and there is a long straight just as you enter my town. So I planted my foot and my Max jumped back to 2nd gear and I felt the rush again but I keep my foot down I was up to 185kph as I passed the new speed zone limit of 60kph and then slammed the brakes on. The mad driver was well behind me, as I could see his lights in the distance behind me. My friend was amazed buy the power my car had. He wants one now! I told him that there was still more power there that I might use again another day.

kph stands for kilometers per hour (same as miles per hour)
In canada the legal limit on a highway is 100km/hour which works out to 60mph.

60mph = 100 kph

So when he says he was going 185 kph, he was going around 111 mph.
