Here in Europe it's always said that there's tons of radars on the USA roads and that it's hard not to get caught. I don't know though, it's just what people say here lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know though, it's just what people say here lol Not on the country roads, there is a lot of Radars on the Main Busy HWYs. In USA it seems to me that, even the cops are business oriented, they do not really monitor the roads that are not that busy, they go after the busy roads to catch more speeders, on the main HWYS.

JYD Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 wait u got a Cadillac CTS and u've only gone a 100 mph? Lol. I got an '01 honda civic maxed it out at around 125. It's pretty quick but not all that fast, cts' are [expletive]ing DOPE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Universe Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 I was at 170 km the other day coming home from work on the highway around 5:30 and there is almost never cops on the highway streches of St. Catharines, only when you head to Toronto or head to Niagara Falls. I have a 2004 Impala like the cops drive around here too so people get out of my way but I still miss my 1998 Station Wagon cause that thing could fly without even feeling like it was going fast.

Mike Hawk Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 My mom had a 06 CTS and it was a great car but the lease just ended up for it so now we got the Lexus is250 which is even faster she says. is 250 isnt faster, than any of the CTS Model even the 2.8 CTS model Pushes More I believe. Only reason maybe she said that was because the IS is lighter than the CTS so she feels its faster, I dunno. "Powertrains and Performance The 2009 Lexus IS 250 is powered by a 2.5-liter V6 that generates 204 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque. Rear-wheel drive is standard, while AWD is available. Transmission options consist of a six-speed manual and a six-speed automatic, though if you want AWD, you're stuck with the automatic."http://www.edmunds.com/lexus/is250/2009/review.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billt chamberlain Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 i've hit 100 before, and i don't really like the feeling. sorry if i sound like slowpoke. i hardly ever do the speed limit though. going 80 in my car feels really smooth and nice, but pushing it to 100 makes me feel unsafe and feels like i can't control it as well as i'd like to.

No shame in doing the speed limit better safe than sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx. Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Yeah dude CTS has less horsepower then the is250. Also it has a smaller engine like you said 2.5 though so its better on the gas and it has all wheel drive, its just better inside got it nicely done. is250 has better acceleration than the CTS too.

THe IS has the 2.5 Engine not the CTS. The Smallest CTS engine you can get is the 2.8 and then it goes to 3.2 and 3.6L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
