Fastest speed
- Thread starter dhill
- Start date
Had mine bouncing off the limiter in 6th, clock goes upto 140mph but I'm pretty sure it was past that... (Wasn't really looking at the clocks! 
)
Passenger, probably just a bit more of that, 150mph ish in a big merc, can't say I noticed much

I don't really care about top speed - it's all about acceleration baby! 
Otherwise on the autobahn 175mph indicated in an audi RS4.
135mph *GPS* in my mondy ST24.
145-ish *indicated* on my Thundercat
But it's boring - getting to the to say 100mph quickly is much more fun than being able to do 150 IMO.

indeed just fools the ecu into thinking you are in 5th all the time to get rid of the crap retardation in the lower gears.
It will also get rid of the top end limiter that you get in 6th as it thinks your in 5th
passenger 151mph GPS, 160 indicated on the autoban, Dangerous' st220 hitting the rev limiter (there is a video floating about of that occasion 
)
Driver: 140-145 indicated, 131 GPS with more in her but i ran out straight "track", so had to pull off (in my own car, 2L mundano, passenger reading my GPS speed for me)

Yep it does on the 'thou, it's limited to 186MPH, which is 186 on the speedo, not real speed either, that's 173MPH on mine.. with the TRE the limit is removed..
the 600, the TRE makes bugger all difference, sorry for the confusion..
My cars (on the road 
)
145 indicated GTI6 (on the first engine, 2nd engine was slower.)
150 indicated VR6 (modified, very scary on this suspension)
Other cars (This was at a privat brunters gathering few months ago, on the long strech)
170 Escort Cosworth (It was still pulling hard until the limiter in 5th)
160 Sapphire Cosworth
150+ Brothers Escort RST (im guessing here as it was way off the clock)
