203 mph, Is That Possible?

[Turbo Donkey]

Hi All

After reading a post on here yesterday about finding out the maximum figures that the car has produced in its past (i.e press fog light button for two seconds and then push the menu scroll nob on the right hand side, etc) looked at mine this morning and the maximum speed recorded was 203mph! is that right? i know these beasts are extremely fast but over 200mph? has anyone else had a look at their own figures, interested to know what you all come up with.
Or could it just be an error of some kind.

Mine did something similar - the speedo would climb up normally, but then not come down again when you decclerated. When accelerating again, it would climb from its previous high point.

Sounds like you have a dirty / damaged sensor.

Or a REALLY fast car!

Cheers,

I guess it's possible in a vacuum whilst going downhill.

I've seen the same figure on my car & believe that it's just the maximum that the electronics are capable of understanding. In my case, I had a faulty transducer that caused the speedo needle to bob up & down, and when it went all the way up must have maxed itself out.

Mine did the same, made for a very impressive photo with the needle sitting at 190.

Ah, I can do better than that. Same problem only once and have a photo (sitting in the driveway) of the needle off the clock as far as poss, showing about 230mph - if only. Mind you probably quite scary doing that in the driveway.
