Used the search option but got confused!!!
Was having a race today with a Porsche 911 turbo, stayed with it easily until 120mph and then bang, no more power with a bang out the exhaust!
Is this the speed cut thingy, never experienced it before apart from when my Scooby was overboosting.
I thought something had gone wrong but all power still there so no probs, oh and the best bit was the guy in the Porsche pulling over to let me pass!!!
Thanks for any help!!

I am guessing your car still has the limiter on it. Jap cars are restricted to 112mph in Japan, and need to be de-limited if you want to exceed this speed. Often this is done at SVA, but sometimes the importers are too tight to do it.

I am guessing the speedo is a little out, so quite possible you hit the speed limiter :thumbsup:

It's horrible when the limiter cuts in, especially if you're dicing at the time.
Get that delimiter fitted - I'm of the opinion that the limiter can be a safety risk on a car that gets to 112mph as quick as ours.
