My wife and I went on a little trip to Michigan this weekend.As luck would have it traffic was light and running around 80MPH.So I dropped back and did two runs to see what if anything would happen?I have alittle more then 4000miles on my MM.The first time I got up to 112MPH and had to slow down before I caught up to traffic.On my second run the MM went right up to 123MPH,don't know what more was left because my co-pilot gave the" that's enough of that ".That's stock,and it seemed to be stable enough.Thought I was limited to 114MPH by the speed limiter?:)

Chapel1,

The number I have seen quoted is 117MPH for the limiter..add a little analog guage "slush factor" and that could be your answer as to why it looked like 123mph...just don't get a "accurate" reading from someone who wouldn't appreciate your speed...;)

I can hear it now..."Honest your honor, the accelerator cable stuck...let me on the web and I'll show you the thread about the problem on MercuryMarauder.net..."

does the chip remove the speed limiter?
