I checked to make sure Renntech took out my limiter, I ran it up to a little over 170 and it was still pulling hard. I had my eye's locked on the road, but I kept giving a quick glance at the speedometer & tach. I think I was taching around 5,500, I'd say she would do 190 to 200 since they raised my redline to 6,300 or 6,400.
Humm, they must have still been in 4th gear, I know my '04 coupe would stay in 4th gear if you had it to the floor running at high speeds till you let up on it a little then it would shift into 5th. The fastest I'd had it was about 148 mph.
