I know. But, I'm in class D, and it was my first ever day at PIR and first ever day in a HPDS. My instructor didn't let me go any faster than that on the main straight. And even if he did, I wouldn't. I was reaching about 120mph before the kink (if I recall correctly, since I wasn't looking at the speedo too much). Turn 1 is a little scary

1MOREMOD · 05-20-2011, 06:13 PM

yeah its gets even more so at 145 but oh so fun. ive only been out a few times and it was even worse before the repave as that section was really rough right after the kink hugging the wall then hard braking for the long left at 2.

1cleanm6 · 05-20-2011, 07:31 PM

65mph speed limit

sensi09 · 05-20-2011, 07:32 PM

Usually top out any car I've driven early on, but afterwards it's not really an interest.

Yes, the issue has been covered many many times, and yes, speedometers read higher (3%-6%), but the electronic limiter is 161, not 155. And yes, I've been there and felt the limiter. Measured by GPS. Speedo indicated nearly 170. GPS indication varied between 160 and 162.

SHADY1 · 05-23-2011, 06:56 AM

178 MPH speed limiter removed

as for the location.... I have no comments for The Press at this time

You have a defective window seal. Mine leaks at 60MPH. Take it to the dealer

Have hit the limiter ~ 3-4 times. Legal on Autobahn.

admranger · 05-23-2011, 04:37 PM

2002 E46M3 w/3k plus miles on it, south of Munich on a Sunday. Speed limiter kicked in at an indicated 169mph (yes, I know it is optimistic). We had a group of 12 E46 M3's and pretty much everyone hit the same number. 5th gear was good for 160mph indicated before running out of revs.

Won't get enough miles on the E90 M3 in August to try the same thing...
