English term or phrase: break two bills
I texten står ung.: "Car A has a top speed of 200 mph. Car B also. C cars break two bills with power to spare.

Jag antar att det är en variant på vårt "att slå två flugor i en smäll"? Dvs att bil C slår de två andra utan att förta sig.

Swedish translation:klarar tvåhundra knyck
Explanation:
This unusual colloquialism probably means exceed 200 mph, so you need to even factor the speed into kph to be accurate.
