Limiter

Is there a consistent speed you are all getting when hitting the top speed limiter?
Mine went up to a digital speedo speed of 169mph before it hit the limiter, anybody with different results?

Sounds about right. Mine hit the limiter showing 167. Actual speed is probably very close to 155mph.

I heard a rumour once that if you hit the limiter more than 3x it de limits itself.
I know, complete load of rubbish but it will be fun trying
