how about the fact you're loosing traction? I'd invest in a better set of tires.

Try working on what's at the end of your leg! Ease up on the lead foot and you won't be spinning tire as much. % tread left is a nice check, so is age of the rubber. Rubber gets harder as it gets older, less grip.

see what i can do however dont our cars top at 180 kmh or 108mph i cant get this past 160 so that also leads me to believe that its a sensor... ( i do this in a controled space my friend has an old air strip on his land )

Egad....

If the tires are losing traction.... then the light comes on. It's working the way it was designed.

If you're hitting the speed limiter... well.... you're obviously going way too fast.... well over the speed limit anyway. Don't play the private road card... everyone tries that bs.


Oh, and don't expect the speedometer to be accurate at that speed. It's 173 km/h
