The speed limiter is precisely why I'll probably have my 'puter reprogrammed. If a bandito is after you, the last thing I want is my 'puter putting on the brakes.

I dodge cows, pigs, deer, mountain lions, bears, you name it. 97 ain't very fast if someone's chasing you, having the speed limiter on the vehicle is like carrying a gun with no bullets.

Wish you would have shown the RPM's at that speed as well. How many Revs is the I-5 turning at 97 MPH? :confused:

well, i never have met a critter that can run 70 mph!!!!

aside from being chased by hot chicks (which happens all the time here in cabo and normally they are in teeny bikinis), i don't remember the last time someone tried to "chase" me.
in my experience, it is pretty rare that happens unprovoked.
to be prepared for that unlikely event (since there are crazies out there), i keep a full-size maglight jammed between the drivers seat and the console along with a small can of pepper spray in the driver's door stow box, just because - you never know.

I don't recall, but it's not very darned many RPMs if I recall (somewhere in the 3s. Next time the road's empty and safe, I'll check it out. Believe me, the computer shuts it down pretty hard when it hits 97.

H3 gearing in top 2 gears is so tall you could hit 97mph in 3rd gear.

I couldn't keep up with traffic here in Texas doing "only" 97.....:giggling:

Not sure about 97 but at 106 it's turning about 5100. I haven't been able to get it over 106. I think it is aerodynamically impossible.
