Exclamation Issues doing 160mph in a GS460
EDIT: THIS WAS AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE EVERYBODY!

I know most of you know this by now, but for the future, I just want everyone to know that I NEVER did 160mph in my car, or in any car for that matter, this was all done in a garage using the techstream diagnostic software (gauge cluster test mode). The car never once moved while taking these pictures, yet seeing the speedometer go higher and higher while there is a giant brick wall in front of you is still scary even while in park...

If you have any questions about it, let me know

-Joe



So I was going about 160mph and I was hitting 7,000 rpm and my car wouldn't go any faster. Have any of you ever experienced this? After a while too, my engine started to overheat... So weird:
