Last night i felt like going up to the speed limiter in my v6, and from reading the board i saw it was suppose to be 111mph. It went to about 115/116 and just stayed there on mine. Anyone else hit it?

Other forum topic with speed limiter

this one says 111. You would be the first to tell me it was 118, which mine did not do

I think the tires are rated to 118 mph and the car is limited to 111 mph. But when I topped mine out, it also went to about 115 mph.

at speeds that high the speedometer is very inaccurate! the limiter will only allow 111mph if thats what it is set to...if you didnt hit the limiter you werent goin that fast!

innacurate maybe, "very" innacurate i dont think so. When i was at the track i was goin through the ¼ at just under 90mph on my speedo, and my official times were 88.2 and 89.1

thats not 115-118 the error % grows as the number gets higher...and at a track the trap speed isnt the highest speed reached it is the average speed over the end section of track so if the speed was 89 that was the average so higher and lower then that so ur 90 mph speedo is more off then you initially thought anyway!

I know its the average speed over the end section, but the end section is very short in length. So the Trap speed would only be off maybe half a mile an hour.
