that test was at 29km/h, now imagine what would happen at 3times the speed (=9times the kinetic energy) which is still legal on most rural roads

so yes, it is possible to rip a car in halfs without speeding

Just going to say, to everyone that says "omg this thread is stupid".

Speed doesn't kill, in actual fact it's more like 4th or 5th most common 'cause' of accident, with #1 being lack of attention or something.

There's a time and a place, we're all (hopefully!) sensible enough to not do 60mph in a 30mph or the like, but if there's an unpoliced stretch of dual carridgeway we know, why not?

I will close the thread now for two reasons.

1) We keep getting reports about posts in this thread, so that is annoying for devs and moderators.

2) I don't think it is sensible to discuss the high speeds you drove on the public road, on a public forum.

Keep it between you, your friends, your car / bike, the police and the grim reaper.
