Hey just wondering if anyone removed the speed limiter on a 545....how fast would it go??? I tried top speeding my car and it went 155mph in 6th gear with 5000 rpm and i know it could go much faster. Anyone tried this??

Umm, no... why are you in such a hurry? LOLz.. 
There's really no where safe to go faster than 100 here in FL. Cops and traffic everywhere.

if you have the head up display, it should tell you exactly how fast you are going.

Get an aftermarket GPS like the Garmin. It shows exact speed.

Here is an easy way to determine your speed without a speedometer. I had to use it when the gauges in my truck went dead. It should work with any car that has a trip computer that tracks average speed.
Select average speed on you dash display. As your speed climbs, just reset the average. The speed that comes up will be your current speed. Just continue to reset as needed.
