"Don't know," answers Override, "but I know how to find out!"
With that, she accelerates, pulling ahead.
"Catch me if you can!" the Velocitronian taunts.

"You're on!" Sideburn whoops as he accelerates after her. The chase is on!

This time, Override isn't subtle about it. She accelerates smoothly, and she accelerates quickly, her translucent tires screaming down the alien highway as she rides. It's not too very long until she once more reaches... and surpasses! ... the seven hundred mile an hour mark.

Sideburn accelerates hard after her, the needle on his speedometer pushing higher--
And then at 700 mph on the mark he vanishes again, reappearing further down the road. "Whoo! It happened again!" Sideburn's definitely going to be checking out his systems when he gets back to base to try to find what's causing him to do that.

Once more, as Sideburn appears in front of her, Override pushes her own limits to catch up, and once more, she's able to do so before too long...
"Seems to happen right around seven hundred," she notes, tone a bit more formal now, although she sounds curious as well. "Must be strange, to have a hard ceiling like that!"

"Yep, 700," he agrees. "I've never heard of anything being tied to speed like that!" Sideburn thinks back, trying to remember the last time he'd pushed himself to his upper limits...
Though for a brief moment he wonders what Override's top speed is.

Override slows down now to travel at the just-a-bit-below-700 pace. "So, you... you didn't know that would happen," she notes, working this out in her head. "I take it you've never gone that fast?"
She starts to slow down for a turn, but only just, used, as she is, to taking them at high speeds.
"So you've never tested your limits?" she asks, tone disbelieving, as though that were a foreign concept.

Sideburn slows briefly for the turn, then catches up. "I didn't have a chance too! We left for Earth right after the last time my engine was upgraded, and Earth doesn't have any place to really let loose. Not to mention one of my brothers would get on my case anytime I went even a bit over the humans' speed limits." Plus it's hard to chase hot cars if you're going faster than them.
That still doesn't excuse him not taking the chance to test out limits in his time on Gillanan, though...

"You know, I wasn't on Earth for long, but I could have sworn some of their roads had no speed limits," Override teases, laughter tucked into her tone.
"Either way, though, you're not there now. You're here. And a person should know what they're capable of. So come on... lets see how long you can keep that up!" With that, Override starts to peel off ahead, once more climbing towards seven hundred.
