For those who drive Ed's or know about it, is there a cut off point when you hit 180km?

On the topic of speed, does anyone know how much it cost to run your car on the 1/4 mile? and what is required?

i would keep the limiter as the tail shafts tend to let go betwen 190 and 200 and it makes one hell of a mess.

I think we get the point that unless you are going to race your car there is no need to have the limiter removed, if you are intending to race, then there are a couple of important mods that need to be done - tail shaft loop and a different tailshaft, if your attempting these speeds on public roads, aim for the tree while your doing 100, we dont need you to take out others.
