Default RE: Speed limiter gets on my nervs

about speed limits I dont watch that, but I will say this in towns I drive by the book. About stable Mustang, well I bought the Mustang be cause then you really have to drive the Car not all that electric stuff like in a M3 or Audi S, I want pure power and must be a little wibrations driving the Car, thats whats great. If I just want to go fast I could buy a RS Audi, but it looks like a normal Car and you almost dont have to drive it yourself.

Any Idea what I can expect on the Speedometer with a Predator tune with C&L air intake, maybe 0,2 sec up to 60mph or top speed a little more?


Johnboy7701 why ship back where you in Germany, be cause then you realy know the Autobahn another thing why dont any in the states drive to fast on the Highway, do you have big penalties or whats up.

LOL big penaties?
If you are caught going 150MPH on a US highway you will spend 3-6 months in jail and lose your license!!
Not to mention it is not safe to do that on our highways, they are not designed for that kind of speed in mind.

I spent some time in Germany and Drove the A5 from Darmstadt toHeidelberg every day and the roads were not any better then some of our highways
they are narrower and at times have cracks and bumps. I think what it is, is thatGermans are better drivers than americans because what is involved in getting your License. they pay thousands of euros and years of training before being allowed to drive. they don't give 16 year olds a license and they take it away from the elderly. Driving is a Privilege over there.
You can drive 145Kp/h in the left lane, but they will ticket you is you are in the left lane going 90. oh but don't speed in the villages or towns
Speeding cameras all over the place. I have a few of those, they send the picture of you with the speed. and of course where to send the payment.

I was doing 165Kp/h and a Polizei flew buy me at 200 easy. if you see headlights coming up from behind you better get over to the center lane
thats driving ... here people do 55 in the left lane because they can and it's annoying.

Brenspeed changed my speed limitier to over 200 mph just so I'd never hit it. I wouldn't have hit it had they left it at 147. At 52 y/o, I'm happy doing the occasional 120! LOL!
