Speedo pics
Just came over some cool pics....
Looks to me that the digital tacho is not perfectly syncronized with the analogue dito on this car. (It's a C200 Kompressor by the way
)

How does this label differ? (Note: This is not me driving. This is some german guy driving on autobahn in a speed that probably is perfectly legal)

I heard that because the stock tires for the coupe are R rated, its unsafe to go over 130mph or it may cause a blowout. anybody got info on this?

I will be doing a TOP speed run this summer and post a pic.
I'm sure it will be similar to the other pics but probably will top out at around 208Kph (~130Mph). Some of the Highways here are very STRAIGHT for a LONG time..... its like an endless straight road and not much traffic so its very easy to do Top Speed runs here.
If anyone is from Alberta..... I am talking about Highway #1 from Calgary to Medicine Hat or vice versa. This is the most BORING road ever.
oh... i got clocked at doing 180Kph (~112 Mph) many many years ago.... Mandatory Court appearance. Paid a $220.00 fine and that was it. Kept my license though. Lost 4 points for excess speeds and dangerous driving.

The Speedo will show higher at least on NA vehicles because of requirements that the actual speed can never be higher than the displayed speed. DOT requires this in America. No such requirements exist for onboard computers. The computers therefore tend to be more accurate regarding mileage, fuel consumption, and speed.

I think if I look around I can find a pic I took while doing a blast down the 5fwy. I thinkthe speedo says 148 or somthing. I hit my speed limiter @155 but couldnt take the pic of that. Too scary to take my eyes off the road.

My car just won't go anymore as soon as i hit 135...
How in the world did you get to 148 or 155....
Now i want to do that
if you did do an ecu remap... where did you do it...
thanks
