..also i can say i was lucky enough to let the car loose twice and max it out.. pretty cool feeling.. seeing the digital display at that speed was pretty exciting, not even sure if i looked over at the speedometer.. but if i did, it would have still looked like i had room to go.. also i read somewhere you can order this car and request the governor to be moved to 174mph is that right?


makes senses them changing the speedometer to make it easier to see at lower speeds.. i usually keep my steering wheel at the lowest possible setting and seeing anything but the digital display is almost impossible anyways unless i duck my head a little..

Had it over there for about four months with no limiter and can honestly say had it well over 160 many times, posted one of the runs on AZ and youtube. But yeah, used the digital speedo for that.
