Replacing old speedometer, how do I reset actual miles ??

Let me know how you make out when it is YOUR wife or child. I was an EMT
in the late 80's myself. I never drove like that with anyone in my bus.

All I can say is you have no idea how you would react. And I hope you
never have to.

No, Matt, you confused me with the OP.

Eric

 

I'm glad to hear that.

Matt

 

For those of us who are too CHICKEN (or too sensible) to open up the car,
here is a nice little movie of an 06 Hyundai Sonata running from 0-133mph.

Direct link warning!

56K warning!

Enjoy!!!

Have a lovely Memorial Day. Remember a Vet!

 

We should treasure our idiots that take risks. We are a nation of
descendants of risk-taking idiots.

I do not condone driving 130mph, but I defend anyone's right to do it...
safely, on empty roads, of course. The Government has no right to protect
us from our own stupidity, because the Government is more stupid than us.

 

So Matt, why in hell do you drive 130mph? Explain yourself!!!

 

I was an EMT back in the day when speed was the main lifesaving tool. We
drove sleek, powerful station wagons and converted hurst's. We used to cross
the Lake Pontchatrain causeway in as little as 15 minutes. We saved many
lives, and nobody was ever hurt.

 

I fall into the second camp, but on a track it would be a hoot. Any
idea which model Sonata this was? It seemed to accelerate too fast
above 100 MPH to be a 4 cylinder, yet the shifting sounded like it was a
standard shift, which isn't available with the V-6.


Matt

 

I'm not at all against taking risks. I ride motorcycles, fly airplanes,
etc. It is wantonly placing others at risk that I object to and which
is what was described here. You are confusing taking risks with being
stupid.

Replace road above with track and I'm with you 100%.


Matt

 

I don't. Where did you get that idea?


Matt

 

Ya, it was an 06 LX, with about 1500 on the odometer. I love the engine
sound. The tranny sounds a lot better in that movie than it actually is. It
sounds like it's shifting crisply, but that's deceptive.

 

My Sonata 2.7 V6 automatic 0-100 Km/h here

It was a V6. With the pedal floored, it does sound a bit like a manual
shift. Even more so if they were using the "manumatic" or whatever Hyundai
calls it.

Eric

 

Yes, I test drove a couple of V-6s and even shifting the auto in the
manual mode it didn't sound like the one in the video which is what I
was wondering about. Now, my 4 cylinder does sound more like that if I
shift at 6 grand.
