Thanks ..I'll fill you in on a little secret. It won't be long after the Bronco comes out that aftermarket tuners will begin to support them. I have an SCT tuner with custom 5star 93 octane tunes I use with my Ecoboost F150, which I hope will eventually be able to be paired with my Bronco through an update. You can disable both the speed and rev limiters through the tuner interface. Disclaimer: Using an aftermarket tune on a vehicle still under warranty will sometimes void the warranty if the dealership notices the changes on an OBD scan. Best not to use a tuner until the powertrain warranty has expired unless you don't care about the warranty. But, tuning an Ecoboost really wakes up the potential these engines have, if done within safe parameters from a reputable custom tune shop. Also stick below the speed ratings of your tires or you can possibly run into trouble.
i'm guessing you didn't have a current race license at order time so it wouldn't be governed.My E46 M3 was limited to 155mph. Have bounced off it numerous times at road courses with long straightaways.
That was the car that got me interested in high-speed road courses. Traded it in for an E36 after a couple of years. The E36 is fully gutted, custom cage, etc. Definitely not street legal anymore.i'm guessing you didn't have a current race license at order time so it wouldn't be governed.
It doesn't have to do with racing licences, it's just a gentleman's agreement between manufactures so that too speed didn't become a pissing match.i'm guessing you didn't have a current race license at order time so it wouldn't be governed.
Lawyers. US lawyers are the reason we have so many rules.multiple reasons for the limiter. safety, tires, and aerodynamics. crumple zones on most cars aren't made for things over 200kph. tires are also a limiting factor including balanced wheels and wheels that can handle the rotating pressures. then aerodynamic play a roll too. remember the first gen audi tt? recall happened because at the limiter the rear of the car would float around. they had to make a spoiler for it. reasons why there are limiters.

I've ordered a few BMWs and I've never seen or heard anything about an option to remove the limiter, maybe if you are ordering a non street legal race chassis I guess.
Touche! But they did only make 1,383 of thosei couldn't find the original source, so wikipedia
for the non-NA M3 CSL
"The top speed was electronically limited as standard, but buyers with a current motorsport licence could order the CSL with the speed limiter removed"
