Boris, I have a home in Boulder City near Vegas, and there is a test road on the way with no speed limit. Contact me before your next trip to SEMA,,,

Hey ALSRAC, you might want to photoshop out that date stamp, But nice job including the reflection in the photoshop work.

So how do you get rid of the speed limiter?
Is there a chip for this?

I was cruising down the side of a mountain in northern TN, just keeping up with traffic, looked down, and realized I was doing 93.

Made the mistake of gasping, "OMG! wouldyalookatthat!" to the woman riding with me. Her first time in a Smart. She went green.

That was some fast da*n traffic.

I've noted that when the speedometer says "92 or 93", it really is 90.

It tends to be off on the + side, which is good for folks that tend to speed.

The day that I took delivery I was trying to merge on to the highway and was basically standing on the gas and staring in the mirror trying to get over, once accomplished I looked down and couldn't "find" the needle and thought "SH!T, I broke it already- the stupid thing fell off" and was already planning on taking the next exit and going back when i noticed 2 things... 1) I was passing in the right lane and 2) the needle was just north of 100 on the speedo. Scared myself, haahaa, I'm a loser.

Does anyone else get a "soft banging" eminating from the rear driver side shoulder area when exceeding @85? I think it may be the panel just aft of the tridiron waving in the breeze. 80 seems to be the average speed around here so I have that 5mph buffer zone before it gets daunting. Just curious if it's the wind buffeting or a loose body panel or what.
