Break in DONE No speed limit !!!!!!
Well I finished with my break in period got the service done today and decided to take a day off from work. WOW was it worth it. I guess I dont have a speed limiter on my car cause today I was doing 165mph on the speedo.
Red lining it through the gears is awsome to say the least. |

speed limit is like 160, 162 or somthing - add to that some speedo error and you can see 165 indicated.

Sounds amazing! I'm at just over 700 miles -- 500 or so to go until my 1200 mile service (the car keeps warning me every time I start her up). Can't wait until I don't have to pay any attention to the revs. I accidentally went near the 7000RPM mark on the freeway one day. Completely forgot I was in manual mode. I brought it back down quickly.

I am going to have to take a look at the RPM's next time. I know I went to about 145 or so in 6th gear. I could be wrong about that cause I was more concentrating on the road ahead than the gauges. Was more of a thrill for me than anything, and I wanted to see if it had the limiter on it. |
