Default Subaru Hoon clocked 224km/h

Hoon clocked doing 224km/h
POLICE have charged a 19-year-old Australind man and impounded his car after he was allegedly caught driving at more than 200km/h in an 80km/h zone.
The teen's Subaru Impreza WRX was allegedly detected doing 167km/h on the Australind bypass road shortly before being clocked a second time at 224km/h.

Police have charged the man with reckless driving and impounded his car under anti-hoon legislation for seven days.

He will appear in court at a later date.

anyone from here ???

LOL i think DD is the least of their worries after being done at that speed.

Having said, being done during the DD weekend was a heart warming experience I must say.

No Australian delivered WRX/Sti should be speed limited. Those running JDM conversions with full loom and ECU might find they are limited as the Japanese limit is 180kmh.
