Also in 2005 I believe there was some people who took an ice cream van with a top speed of 50 mph - I'm not saying it was the pleasantest of trips for them (leave early, arrive late, almost no sleep), but it worked.Sypher wrote:+1 a few years back, there was 2 guys who took a Citreon CV2 to the gumball with a top speed of 60mph. They made every checkpoint RIGHT on time.. but that was with leaving earlier than everyone and being the last to arrive.eaglecatcher wrote:actually, you don't have to speed a whole lot.

thats true. there was an article in a car mag a couople months ago, and they took a bentley I think, on a trip from new york tomiami. they mailed a package in fedex, and left after they dropped it off, and they did actually beat the package there, but they had infrared/night vision binoculars, radar jammers, radar detectros, everything, the whole 9 yards. It was several grand in equipment, along with needing a co-driver,but they did make it there before the package, without a single ticket, with an average speed of like 80mph, including time spent stopped. that was pretty cool.black94boost wrote:That is where laser jammers, radar detectors, and license plate covers (ones that prevent your plate from showing when pictures are taken from toll booths/redlight cameras) come in handy If you kick it up a notch, you can put police scanners and listen to what the police are up to.eaglecatcher wrote:actually, you don't have to speed a whole lot.

I actually wrote in to correct them, as his car was obviously a 360, not an F430...

was that you!
or maybe you were just one of the guys who caught it, but there was a thing in the editorial section where they acknowledged they had put the wrong model car, and were written by someone telling them of their mistake.
