So you couldn't get back to 1985?

I think some time ago someone put Back To The Future props on a EA Falcon via photoshop...looked funny as.

Lol my contribution to society is 140km/h yehhh im a pussy :), i thought i was doing 100 on the highway and realised its 140 you dont feel speed in EA's.


fastest with some one else driving is a 650 hp supra playing around to 180 ish down a quiet road, (if you floored it it would spin wheels at 160 :shock: )

Insane :shock: Would have been funny to watch the needle as it would be stuck at the bottom of the dash for ages, then when you start slowing down it'd still be there until you "slow" down to 200 haha

My best effort would be 190kmh in my EA, and 180kmh in the EF (limited), oh and 180 in Sunny's typhoon (by far the funnest, felt like it was only doing about 130, got there so quick as well, if he wasn't with me and I had my own car I would have gone up a gear and kept going, felt so safe :P)
