Just wondering how fast does your car go?
I've had the full Mrc stage2 treatment and I can do 70mph !!!!

You sound like the 5-0 :sekret:

I was gonna say fast enough, but I don't think fast enough exists :twisted:

Dose the MRC map remove the limiter?

Also I think I have read that the gearing is good for 175mph

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

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!

Yes, it removes the 155 limiter :biggrin3:
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!! :sekret:

And yes, MRC remove the top speed limiter

And I guess there maybe some margin for error on different GPS.

Nope, that's 167 on GPS, speedo showed 170... in the fictional book I was reading :bigblink:

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.
