Sorry, couldn't resist.

My children have watched that film so many times!


And mine too. At least twice a week.....

My kids have even nicknamed my 5'er 'Lightning Mc Queen'!!!!

Ill try find another 650 to race. Oddly enough the other day I was in the country in a big lot doing a few burnouts and since I put the SB (sprint booster for you geniusus) and noticed how when I tap reverse it flies. I did hammer reverse in this open space and it flew-felt much quicker than 2nd gear and not as quick as 1st so that seemsl ike an accurate representation above. I didnt go to 60 but was at 30 and was at the peak of mycontrol. Controlling reverse is tough!

how did you measure you speed? I mean did you turn your head back and forth? maybe that's why it felt tough to control.
