Maxing out!
Here in the UK, I was out on a cool summer morning (about 5.30 I think) and was on a safe stretch of motorway. I decided to leave my foot on the pedal too see just what it would do!
166mph on the clock ond digital read and the car still felt like it would pull some more.
Interestingly though, the satnav was reading 155 on the dot.....
Ran out of road/*****!

Maybe the speedometers are off a little? I went 155 and held it there b/c when I hit the limiter in my Cobra it threw a code and f***ed with the ECU/fuel all the way back home.
Just get an AAM reflash and don't worry about it anymore.

If you slam into an immoveable object at 159 the entire car will pulverized and the driver will be atomized.
