Ralliart top speed

Can anyone here tell me the top speed of the ralliart, just curious if there is an electronic limiter at a certain speed, I know my BMW cut off at 155.

I THINK it's 147 MPH (236 KM/H converted....I think). I don't think there is a limiter.

As far as the Evo X and CT9A ECUs - no limiter. It is set to 510 kmh.

Any posting of street racing comments = points.

Someone that has tuned the RA, please post the limiter you have seen written in the ECU.

If the Evo X isn't ECU limited, I'd be damn shocked if the Ralliart was.

According to that link, top speed is 144 MP/H (155 for EVO).

EDIT:
Gives nice comparison info between GTS/RALLIART/EVO X numbers

156 for the EVO, but I've seen you tube videos go even higher than that!

The car is clearly aerodynamically or engine limited, not electronically limited.

I think that's what he was saying, it's limited by how fast the car is capable of going, ie. the engine, or aerodynamically. Not by a computer.

I don't think the car is aerodynamically limited, it's got most of the Evo's body work, plus the wing which, although it's not the MR/SSS Package is still big enough; Most car magazines have also said how the Evo's got a lot of aerodynamic work done to it's structure; the only thing that might be keeping the RA from going fast is minor but useful things like the wider fenders and fender air vents;

I think it's just a fatass
