Default Getz at 133 That Must have Stretched the Elastic Band

Idiot. It seems they can go much faster though and their owners have to find out:

Seem though the only ones I see a usually doing 40km/hr in the right lane in a 70 or higher zone.

I would not want to be in one going that speed

I can't believe they still actually write tickets out these days in the west? I only thought they were 3 hours behind. Mine was printed on the spot 12 years ago

It's probably just me, but most of the time it seems that the people who speed, are driving heaps of junk, or ordinary slow cars like a bog standard Corolla.

People with more powerful cars just plod along at the limit.

A Hyundai Getz would make an ultimate sleeper though, could probably shoehorn an Mitsi evo drivetrain underneath it. Nobody could ever live down being beaten by a Getz

Not AWD though AFAIK

But literally can put a turbo on anything really.
popular swap is the 2L turbo from another Hyundai (overseas model)
