Does anybody have a website that has a translater or something similar to change from kmph to mph or vice versa. Reason is because I always read about people doing certain speeds in other countries but it is really hard for me to get an accurate idea of how fast that is because I am used to mph. Also I read a post where someone stated that they had to stress their car out to get it going 150kmph. If I am not mistaken that isn't very fast is it? I have had my 2nd gen auto up to 115 mph(when the limiter kicks in) before it even started breaking a sweat and that has to be way over 150kmph correct?

hmm..
150 KMPH? that must be 150MPH i don't think any man-made machine is capable of doing 150KMPH on ground. no? :cool:

and still 150MPH is damn fast...most cars are limited before that.

and for the conversion factor..
1mile/h = 1.6093km/h
or
1km/h = 0.62137 mile/h

i have my text book beside me ^^ hehe
wat do u mean any man made machine is not capable of 150km/h on ground?? dude are u high?? at approx 120mph u are already beyond 150km/h dude... 140mph approx 220km/h and i pinned my needle all the way...

This should clarify everything...

KPH = kilometres per hour
KMPH = kilometres per hour

It's exactly the same thing.

Just use this general rule for converting between the two speed measurements...
1 mile/hour = 1.6 kilometres/hour

Therefore... 150 KMPH (also known as 150 KPH, or 150 KM/H... is equal to around 94 MPH... I don't have a calculator handy). Maybe the guy is saying that his car sucks?

Remember...

1 mile/hour = 1.6 kilometres/hour
1 kilometre/hour = 0.625 miles/hour
