So you’d be fine with me coming over and flashing your car to limit it to 85 mph?

It's a genuine question, because I have the M Drivers Package, and all the nearby tracks don't have long enough straights. Just wondering if I will ever be able to reach that speed.

We have had a couple of videos of guys here on tracks in the US hitting the 155 mph limiter, which would indicate a higher top speed could be beneficial.
I think runway top speed races are where we’d use it the most.

We can only envy Germans in this regard.

For me it’s the principal of the matter. I paid for a car capable of xyz. If everything had artificial limits then there’d be no reason to own any car like the M2.

It’s definitely 155 solid with a subtle pull back on the throttle. But it definitely feels like it wants to keep on going.

Jackie Ding hit 170mph at COTA... he is tuned however, so gets up to speed faster. But there are definitely tracks that you can hit that on.
