Yeah, I've only taking mine up to 130 (only  ) but my twin brother has taken my car up to 140. Although I'm pretty sure our speedo's are pretty unaccurate at that speed, one can definately tell you're haulin' tail!

i've seen 112 many times (stupid speed limiter  ), isn't goind 140mph in a 55mph zone illegal? how come this is an allowed to be posted on the forums? just seems it would sorta fall under street racing is stupid so it's not allowed rule. i think you could do more damage at 140mph, then under 100mph (most likely) in a race.

Hey, I did the same thing with my gauges when I installed my indiglos.  I do have a pic of a '98 Ford Windstar at 108 though!

I wish my car had the fog lamp indicator in the instrument cluster, my fog lamp indicator bulb is out in the switch, I hate having to pull the thing every half hour just to make sure they're on, any possible way to get the fog indicator in my cluster like that?

Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

They are both illegal, but 140mph is grounds for being arrested while 60 is a slap on the wrist and a small fine. Big difference.

you can also get arrested for going 60... if you hit small children crossing the street... or if ur going 60 on a school zone... what else? oh yeah, go 60 and rear end a cop, i think you'll get arrested for that too. im just playing man... i get your point.

Zetecs have a limiter correct? So, 105 is as high as they go.
