Re: Top speed
Dose the MRC map remove the limiter?
Also I think I have read that the gearing is good for 175mph

Re: Top speed
I was just going to edit that after reading around 186/190 mark and I read it gets there quick.

Re: Top speed
I heard that it's 193. Apparently that's what my car hit at a vmax event and it pulled to the end of 6th.
I've been no where near that so can't verify!

Re: Top speed
The limiter on the RS cars is supposed to be 155, in reality it's a fair bit more at ~167... I definitely did not test this, you can't prove anything!!Rs4reilly wrote:Yes, it removes the 155 limiterdocurley wrote:Dose the MRC map remove the limiter?

And yes, MRC remove the top speed limiter

Re: Top speed
And I guess there maybe some margin for error on different GPS.

Re: Top speed
Nope, that's 167 on GPS, speedo showed 170... in the fictional book I was reading 
I believe it's the same on the RS4, except you're a bit closer to the top speed so less benefit from removing the limiter.

Re: Top speed
178 GPS (180ish speedo) on my MRC stage 2 B7. And that's with a good gps - not a tomtom/iphone.
