What is it about the Duluth-Two Harbors expressway?
In February it was a Nissan Sentra doing 137 mph. And on Friday night a jet-black 2016 Chevrolet Camaro 1SS was clocked at 171 mph on that stretch of Minnesota Highway 61.
Hermantown Police Department Deputy Chief Shawn Padden was on loan as part of a Minnesota State Patrol "Toward Zero Deaths" DWI saturation effort Friday night when the radar in his Dodge Charger squad car started screaming

Yeah, well my Tacoma will accelerate at 9.81m/s^2.
“Would you believe a Subaru?...................”
A coworker some years back got a speeding ticket in Ohio doing 140+ in a Subaru WRX. He got off easy and framed the ticket.
HINCKLEY MINNESOTA CINNAMON ROLLS BTTT!
Was his name Jackie Chan, and did it have infrared night vision with RADAR jamming?.......................
“The idea of a Datsun at that speed is scary, dunno which is more dangerous, the car or the driver. Have learned to avoid Datsun drivers. “
Apparently you are not familiar with Z-cars, or the current GT-R, or the fact that Nissan is heavily involved with various race series, including Formula 1.
(They are owned by Renault of France, a major engine supplier)
Dollar for dollar, the GT-R has been about the most exciting car a person could own these days.
Dam, hitting a junebug at that speed would be like getting shot
between the eyes
The Sentra maybe give’em the Nissan GTR-black smokes’em all...
“Must have had a tornado as a tailwind..”
That’s downright poetic. I’m gonna have to steal it!
When I lived in Fort Lauderdale we used to do Disney World Runs. 254 miles. The record was just over 2 hours.
If you go on u tube there is a ton of videos with GT-R’s making 1000 plus hp.
“People in Germany and Italy drive +120mph every day as part of their daily commute.”
Jeez, you’d think they’d learn to just get up earlier!
Cuts it off, as in stopping it, or as in topping out and going no faster?
I am regularly surprised at how you can find photos of the most unusual and arcane subjects.
Supposedly (I haven’t tested it...yet) the governor on my Hyundai cuts the fuel off at 150mph. Other than that the clock goes up to 180.
Just don't hit a bump!
Been laughing at them, Datsun's advertising, and the people that buy them for decades. Some things barely change.
Datsun just cannot overcome their urge for execrable advertising.
The Colorado State Patrol uses unmarked Chevrolet Camaro 1SS’s as chase cars for speed traps. They have a dark-colored pair that works I-25 between Denver and the Wyoming border.
They’re tricky too, setting up on the opposite lanes and then doing quick U-turns across the the median at safety-vehicle crossovers.
The bastards!
