That converts to 188.28mph I didn't know the F is capable of that speed if the limited is turned off?

What's a HKS Speed Limit???

Also the link is in Arabic what do you press to see the video?

^^^So I'm assuming that's gear limited in 7th what he achieved?

How much is the limiter removal by HKS? Just curious as to what they charge for those extra 10mph

^^I hear ya, (if your talking about the Novel tune in the other thread) I think a lot of guys here would pay the $2700 for the Novel ECU tune if it was proven and tested with numbers, add some great customer service and a group buy and I think it would be a great mod for the F.

But $2k for 10mph top speed got to have cash to burn to spend that kind of dough.

Well the car in the vid is from Dubai, so....

I know guys from Dubai who have heavily modded $100k+ tuner cars just sitting in a storage garage here in the states so they have something to roll to car shows in when they visit a few times a year.

A factory ISF can and has gone over 200mph. The driver of the ISF in the video isnt in the correct gear to get the most out of the car considering that 7th gear will take you over 217mph.

^^Wow really? Where was that done(200+mph), on the Autobahn?

I also didn't realize that in the video he was in 8th gear, I wonder how much further he could've gone in seventh in those circumstances he was in at the time?

When and where was this? I thought its governed at 168?

I'm currently in Germany and on my home there is a large portion of the autobahn with no speed limit. I hit 120-140mph everyday going to and from. I passed a polizei a few weeks back going a 140mph. A few miles later he flew by me like I was standing still, lol. I was able to hit 155mph but there was traffic a head so I slowed it down.
