The photo was definitely a Sonata.

But I agree. The Sonata is limited to 138mph, so the radar contraption was
defective... or more likely the reporter embellished the speed by 10mph to
add more shock value for the readers.

The stupid article also said the tires weren't rated for that speed, and car
was probably shaking. Hooey! The tires are rated for 149, and the car is
very smooth at 130+ mph.

Here's the link.

No, the reason was that the guy is a blooming idiot with a IQ less than
room temperature.

I know from stupid, but personal experience that an '90 Excel is
capable of excess of 100mph. It was a long time ago, so I don't
remember the exact speed.
