First of all, replace the 130mph H-rated tires.

All you need is an ecu tune... You can either go expensive and get a renntech or watever one u choose.... or u can just go to a shop that does custom ecu tunes.... they can take off ur gov't limiter and at the same time give u hp and tq.... O and one last thing they can raise ur throttle sensitivity... good luck

. . . and kiss your warranty goodbye.

If the car is leased . . . consult your lease contract.

You need to go past 130 when passing multiple semi's with no room. Also when trying to outrun the police. Or just because you can. I'm told the ECU tune doesn't typically void the warranty because the dealerships are set up to reflash the ECU not to read it. Correct me someone if I am wrong. Perhaps these cars are just so damn good it doesn't hurt them? Or maybe most people doing the ECU tune have money to burn?

Because otherwise you've wasted a lot of money buying such a capable car. Our service center in Germany removed the limiters on our cars (including US cars we picked up Euro-delivery). I know a friend of our family had a US dealer remove the limiter on his S600 (or they referred him to someone who would).
