hit the limiter

I know its immature but on my way tonight taking my friend home i hit the limiter 155mph I wasn't surprised about hitting it. It was how fast and the short distance needed to get there.

Cool not immature, just expermenting is so cool, as long as its safe for you and others around or not around. How did the car feel? Light? mine feels like its to light and need a lot more downforce to hug the road more. how long you at top speed? Just make sure all is good, unlike me I was do it all the time, but once I was doing it on not the best tread in the rears and as soon as I hit 165 the Tire pressure light comes on, talking about checking out the braking. They work great. But overall the car is great really needs downforce at speeds. I am working on that now. Looking for a DTM front end with downforce fins on it to give me that extra grip.
Be safe.

What exactly does the car do? Red dash lights? Is it like hitting the rev limiter?

No red dash lights that I saw except the time tire pressure came on, but it just looses forward momentum, will mantain the current speed (155 or so) but will not climb anymore. Get the limiter removed and then then go for it.

Our cars do feel very light, I agree. BUT, they re not, heheheh Must be that the handling and steering feels so precise and easy giving us that impression.

The car does feel light. And no the car doesn't flash big red lights it just stays there at a constant speed. But the car itself felt very controllable for such a high speed
