Disable Speed Limiter
21
Description
Would be great to have not have a factory speed limiter on the car. We do a number of sanctioned events where we can drive at max speeds ( controlled / legal) and would love to see what the limits are.
Competitive/Pricing/Notes
From Moderator: The speed limiter may be to protect the motor, which is running at about 16,000 RPM at 130 MPH. This is similar to an ICE car’s tachometer red-zone where the engine is at risk of self-destruction at high-RPMs.
Status
From Moderator: Interestingly the v5.9 software increased the maximum speed indication on the instrument display to 140 MPH, so perhaps a small speed upgrade is in the works.

I believe that the P85D limit is now 155 MPH. I recently red an article that, based on the aerodynamic coefficient and horsepower the P85D should be capable of 210 MPH. Not sure how stable it would be there but I'd like to find out on a track.
