Default RE: Nemesis Top Speed

Well, I have to pitch this in here, I drove past the trap shortly after with my real truck and my speedo said I was going 45mph and the radar clocked me at 41mph which could mean that the numbers posted here very well could be off as much as 4mph. Hmmm, that would mean running extremely lean the Nemesis does go 40+mph as advertised, as mine could have been going 43mph top with a cosistent 41mph passes....wow. Also, I seen a post stating the radar gun is actually clocking the tires on MT's when they are being clocked but I don't think this the case in my situation as the radar wouldn't even register my truck without the body on but with it on it would. Tried twice, just for good measure, and it just wouldn't work without it on, too, I did run in opposite directions to cancel out any downhill drag or wind resistance and took the average of the two speeds to get the overall TS, and the highest TS is just that, the highest speed registered in two separate passes in both directions but not in consecutive runs, so I really couldn't count them. But my trucks speedo could be off as well, although I don't think so, as it is a 05'. If anyone else has some TS figures that you have done with your Nem or Gen or any CEN feel free to post it here so that all can see and be refered to this post when it is asked by anybody. Oh yeah don't forget your spec's as well.
