the maclaren F1 was geared to hit the limiter at 225 mph but their first run out saw it doing 231, so there was some serious head screatching going on there, because you aren't supposed to be making that sort of mistake when you build a car that expensive
it is strange my car was mapped to hit the limiter at 7800 rpm which according to the calculator is 156. but my speedo shows just over 140 hitting limiter in 4th although i know the speedo is under reading a bit but no more than 5 mph so ? i thought my speed was around 145 unless my limiter is a bit lower for some reason cant tell as rev clock only goes to 7k
