Reply to "Odd handling"

For interest , on speed limits, there is only one spot in Oz where there is absolutely no speed limit. Its in the Northern Territory. It goes from about 7 mile north of Alice Springs through to the Ali Curung Rail Overpass  175 Miles away.



Here is a shot of it.

I drove it two years ago in a 6.3l AMG ML ( Pantera was still in card board boxes )

Now you would think it would be really really good, and I admit to winding it up just a bit at first .

But here is the thing. Its mostly dead straight, there are suicidal kangaroos waiting to randomly leap out at you and there are absolutely no service stations in the middle of what is a 320 mile drive servo to servo  . None of this great for Panteras.

Not sure how much range you get at 140MPH but it likely is well less than 175 miles of no limit and then there is another 150  odd miles to do on top as well . At any elevated speed you rapidly work out you will not make the distance.

Slow down or run out of fuel.   

In the last 15 years there have been no speed related fatalities recorded on this 'no limit' road.
