What the fuck does this have to do with anything? :wink:
i agree with ya adam. lol though, i think most countries that go by metric do the 1000 meter or something like that, i could be wrong maybe its the 1500... like i said im not sure.

actually, 400m is a 1/4 mile. Every track you see (track & field) is 400m around and said to be a quarter mile.

Well... umm Micheal Johnson set the world record in the 400 meter dash at the '96 Olympics at 43.18 seconds...
A very slow car can run the quater in half that time...
I still think that car is much faster than any person can run...
Check your conversion table.
Track and field running the mile is usually labeled as either 1500 or 1600 meters...

Which means 1/4 mile is about 400m.

yep. :roshambo:
Yeah, if my car could run the 1608.34meters(or whatever the number was) in 14.6 seconds, I would not have stopped for that cop, I would have outrun the radio :devil:

Yeah those olympic guys run around 24~25 mph. They had radar on them during the olympics! Hahahaha I'd like to see one of them running down glen ave and get pulled over for exceeding the speed limit. My roomate got a ticket for going 27 down glenn towards our apt. at scarborough. :cry:
