Has anyone here with a 545 ever had the top speed limiter kick in? Its supposed to be at an actual 150 or 155 mph and I know the speedometer is optimistic so 160 on the speedo might be only 150mph actual. Mine has never come on unless its so progressive.

I regularly exceeds 260 KMH, I don't know of how much because that is end of scale!
Obviously, you can do it only at night or early morning when the traffic is lighter. And I can tell you that at that speed two lanes highways (there are still a lot of them in Italy and in Germany) can be quite narrow if you have to overtake big 18 wheeler trucks!
