Whos wrong?
My family was going to the airport few days ago, we had left here at my house at 1:30am the airport is 3hr ride, any way. my dad and i took my car the 1988 camaro, and my brother took his car with his girlfriend and my mom, he has a 1997 Pontiac Grand am GT i believe its a six cylinder turbo, it has turbo i know that for sure, he has a 5 speed tranny, well my dad drove my car, we did 45-60mph the whole way, well we lost my brother, we figured they stopped to go to the bathroom or something, so my dad stops at gas station to wait, and to get something cold to drink, so we get back in the car and we waited 18 minutes (not including time in the store) well my mom and brother notice my car and pull in and my mom has this Fit, You need to SLOW down!! My dad says, we only did 60 the fastest.. My Mom, brother, and girlfriend at the same time say WHAT?!?! My mom says "You guys were going 85-90mph Cause at the begining we tried to keep up and you guys took off."
My dad says, hmm, well thats just great! my dad never passed anyone or anything i dont know how we could of done that speed for that long and not get busted or get behind someone going 50, there was plenty of truckers out that night.. I have the stock tires on my car, same tranny, my brother has diffrent size tires he has the stock rims but with the sporty tires which are smaller than the stock tires and smaller tires would read faster.. I dont know. I have never been stopped my brother hasnt been stopped i always go 50. the speed limit.. So who's wrong?

if you were going that fast you'd have passed people, trucks have governors at 75 an easy way to check (not real accurate but close enough) is find a roadside speed check sign (hte ones with the speed limit, and the digital readout of your speed)
