    WiseOne's Comments, yea...I would say this driver is not with us anymore to be sure. Oh man, that must've been a horrific crash. Note to self; don't hit bridge at 120mph or even 35mph.

    Uhh... what the hell are Georgia cops driving that they can't keep up with a flippin' Hyundai SUV? I could darn near do that in my POS Explorer.

    That sounds like ######## to me. I don't see how it could be possible for a hyundai to go 120 mph. Most vehicles today shut off at 105 mph, and a hyundai with at most a V6, I don't think so. That POS would fall apart.

    Well, the last two posts pretty much said what I was going to say. Except that here is another example of how "Natural Selection at it's Finest" works! This ahole won't be endangering anyone else, every again!

    I have a Chrysller 300 and it kicks out at 117mph at about 5000 rpm's. Red line is about 6500. hard to believe a Hundyia SUV was cooking that fast. There are a lot of after market programs but haven't seen any for those Korean makes. But you can get killed just as dead at 30 as at 120.

    Wow, you're batting 1.000 in this post.

    #1) When a car has enough power to need a speed limiter the industry standard is to use the speed rating of the factory tires, generally 135mph for an H rated tire.

    #2) Hyundai Heavy Industries is one of the Premier manufacturers in the world. They never do anything half-***** and that includes building cars. The cars and SUV's Hyundai builds today are a far cry from the Excel's of the late 80's. If you were to drive one without knowing what it was beforehand you'd be stunned, they compare favorably with ANYTHING in their class on the market.

    #3) Hyundai's dont fall apart, they leave that to the junk being produced by the American Big 3.
