Hey I thought it would be cool to see what every one has "topped their car out at".Most I've ever hit has been 128mph with a cold air intake and chip reprogrammer. | | | 02-08-2005, 02:37 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | I am probably hitting 115-120 at the track but I rarely look at my speedometer. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 02-08-2005, 03:01 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Minneapolis Posts: 1,587 | 115.

The speedo is inherently low. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 02-08-2005, 01:02 PM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Quote: Originally Posted by GDB chip. 1 cam numerically higher gear. | Not for under $400. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 02-08-2005, 03:56 PM | #15 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Tampa Posts: 465 | well.... that was my reading. the gps is accurate... but the reading is late. there is a delay, because if I am going @ a constant speed, is a lot closer, but if I am accelerating, the reading is not 100% precise. I beleve for an accurate reading you must be @ constant speed. so it does make sense right? | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Thread Tools | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
