Cop clocked speeding at 274km/h

Mmmm... C55 AMG with C200k badges more likely; or, he lost control turning into Gold Reef City and metro clocked him hurtling down the mineshaft.

No...not even...

even a C55 will not run to 274km/h....255km/h tops maybe...and how would a traffic cop be able to afford a C55/C63...? No corruption talks,please....
 
This is going to be a huge blow to the new mobile recorder and this guy is going to get off scott free.

All he has to do is proof his car can never reach that speed and the case will be dismissed. 230 odd to 275 is a HUGE calibration srecw up!!

Limiter removed it will... easily. Regardless though, my money would rather be on poorly operated and/or calibrated equipment on Metro's side. Does.Not.Compute.
 
174kmph sounds about right... even a C32 feels scary at 220kmph, doubt this dude was going that fast...
 
I have exceeded my top speed by about 30km/h, just needed a little downhill. ? Temperature and altitude also affect performance, colder weather, faster car.
 
See :) Even the 'traffices' know that "Speed limits" and "Speed kills" is b*sh*t.
Accidents kill, not speed. Speed in the right circumstances is quite safe.
A fixed speed limit for a road that is meant to apply to all weather, traffic, pedestrian, vehicle & driver conditions is the dumbest concept ever.
There are many times speed limits are too high, and many times they are too low. Its just a dumb idea.
There should be more emphasis on having licensed drivers, road worthy cars (annual road worthy tests like England), drivers who are actually decent and cops giving out fines for poor behaviour on the road.
Cops that you can actually SEE REGULARLY, DOING SOMETHING. Not one or two hiding somewhere eating doughnuts and stealing our money while pretending to be making the roads safer.

Its hardly their fault. Its the government that doesn't care. Cops don't get good training, they don't get paid much. They have no decent leadership.
During the world cup is one of the few times I've felt safe walking around town.
The government said they employed 90,000 new cops for the world cup. That must bring the total up to about 91,000...
Speeding fines is just a way for the government to legally rob people while providing no benefit to them.

C55 is a brute monster and will be able to do 275km/h - but its electronically limited at 250!
As for a C200k even reaching 250 - doubt it, its a much smaller engine...
