Speed cameras LA to Vegas
Discussion
I remember that being a very fast stretch of road - you need to be careful on the steep hills if running aircon though as the engine temp will jump quite dramatically. We saw the signs saying "switch off your aircon - steep incline" and ignored them right up until noticing that the car was overheating!

Drive to the Grand Canyon, the last hour is like a rally course if you go to the skywalk lol
When were you there? In 2008, they'd paved about the first mile I think. Proper dust road after that, bouncing along between cacti and buffalo Oh, and OP - obey the "Don't pick up hitchhikers" signs

I got "done" on Route 40 near Kingman, AZ, many years ago. I was driving a 2 litre Ford Probe flat out, due to extreme boredom. Can't recall the exact speed, but well over 100mph. Went under a bridge and the copper was hiding behind the abutment. Lifted off as soon as I saw the lights, but it was too late. Cost me $200, IIRC. He was quite reasonable about it, said he knew I was going faster, but he was citing me for 97mph. It was almost worth $200 for the experience - mirror shades, gun, etc., he looked just like the cop out of Terminator 2. (Gulp!) Then spent the next 2 hours driving at 55mph and being overtaken by *everything*!

Picking up a vette myself from sfo in a few weeks and heading down the pch and then to Vegas from LA. did you hire from hertz?
I'm pretty sure we did. My mate organised it as he arrived in LA 24 hours earlier. It's worth checking you have sat nav as he said some did and some didn't.
Have a good one.

Oh - and pack light if you're getting a drop top. The boot/trunk is minute, and no space behind the seats. It's worth checking you have sat nav as he said some did and some didn't.
