speed limiter

Well, according to the brochure my 550 should be limited to 155mph, 2 days ago I hit 162mph, I didnt visually see it because I had both eyes on the road but I had the speed limiter set to 155 which dinged twice meaning I exceeded it and I had my Garmin GPS (was using it for speed cameras and it captures top speed on trip and it read 162mph when converted from kmh.

I am trying to figure out how to mount my sony hd camcorder to the seat and film a strong high speed run, if I do I will post the speedo.

Oh man, I'm envious! I was in Germany this past July and going pedal to the metal on some stretches in my rental car was still fun. Owning a 550 here will be fun - in Germany? . . . Priceless!
