How Fast Have You Been ?

Post by EB Booster »

Hey all just a bit bored and just wondering how fast you have been in your car or your m8s car.
The fastest I’ve been in my EB is about 188 clicks and in my m8s xr8 Ute was about 200 but I don’t think he had his foot down lol

I got the needle on the EA past 200 at Calder, but that would have been at least 10% off due to the diff.

I got to 150 and the car started shaking :cry:
They shall plant vineyards and drink the wine of them. And they shall build their lay cities and live in them
And they shall also make gardens and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, which I have given them
And the mountains shall drop sweet wine and the hills shall melt.

Look at your car. Now back to mine. Now back to yours. Now back to mine. Sadly, yours isn't mine. But if you stopped buying dodgy cars and bought an ED, yours could be like mine. Look down. Back up. Where are you? ...You're on BoostedFalcon, reading the signature your signature could be like! Anything is possible when your car looks like my car... I'm on a computer.

When my ED got to 180'ks it cut off, I shat myself thinking what have I done to my car? It was'nt till later I was told it does that in the auto's! (phew)

I'm guessing they are called limiter's? If so are they in the engine or computer?

Are they in all e-series autos or manuals too?
