I also thought my speedo was at 115. Hard to be sure while trying not to run over anybody.

Being Italian my people are very in to Speedos. I wish that stereotype wasn't true.

That's true! I forgot about this; the top speed limiter only works in high gear. I had a ford ranger that cutout at 100mph, but downshifting it (out of OD), it would still keep accellerating!

Thanks CJ for the reminder!

Now the race is back ON again for a new top speed!

(CJ's in the lead with 118!)
