Found out about this site from another forum, and its pretty cool to find out how fast you are traveling.  Just look up the Latitude of your location and plug it in.   :bigthumb:

Substantiating "The Theory of Relativity" simply put, Speed is relative to where you are at a given moment in time and space. Like your favorite quarter mile run  :D

Wait you mean if two Cuda's were racing away from each other the speed is relative?

This isn't terribly accurate if you don't factor in your elevation. Obviously you will traveling slower at sea level than on the top of a 20,000 foot mountain at the same latitude. So if I'm in Colorado driving my car at a high altitude and someone on the pacific coastline at the same latitude is driving I would be faster.

So I guess the moral of the story is that a Pinto in Colorado is faster than a Bugatti in Oregon.
