HUD maxes out at 162mph

Hey guys so when I take the long trip below the border my HUD maxes out at 162 but there's a lot more I'm only in 7th gear around4750rpm when it hits it so I know there's a lot more in it and it still pulls. Is there some type of coding that I have to do to allow it to go higher?

The car is limited to 155mph. So if you want to remove the speed limiter, you'd have to have the car tuned

Sorry I wasn't clear I am tuned and have removed the speed limiter that's how I can get to 162 no problem. But the thing is I'm still pulling after it says 162 it just stops counting

Oh I see what you're saying. That's interesting, not sure why it would stop counting

Yes, it does max out at 162, i am not aware of a way to code it, but someone more familiar with coding may know. When i do top speed runs i run a GPS app on my phone so i know how fast i am going, since speedo also maxes at 160. Ive hit 177.

162 / 260kph is the max of the speedometer as well. That would just be a hard limit of those numbers since all cars are delivered with a factory limiter below that.

You can always find "deserted" straight roads where you can safely go fast, especially if you go at odd times of day. If doing so always make sure you prepare your car (tire pressures, torque wheels, etc) and if its a road less traveled, i would always make a normal speed pass down the road first to make sure there's no debris or anything, then on the 2nd pass go for speed.
