Anyone ever hit the limiter in 5th....

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

As per heading just wondered if anyone else had experienced this? it seemed strange at the time, definitely wasnt expecting it.

Im sure there will be a few :nono: but hey it is what it is

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Yea i bet that thing shifts im pretty sure i was around the 146 mark on the speedo so in reality renaults claim of 138 mph probably isnt to far of the truth

 

[Guppy]

Y yesh

 

[Craig]

[Skinny]

yup

 

[Tucker]

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

where are all the people that say stuff like "you better watch what you say the police monitor this site!!!" or similarly unapproving comments.

Its early days yet tho i spose

 

[Ben]

Haha I'm suprised theres this many people saying yes. I'd never even dreamt of doing that, can't see it ever happening in a 1.4 tbh.

 

[Hutchie]

dont think i have hit in 4th....

 

[theduck]

Yeah, I left it too late changing up lol.

waiting for someone to say that!

 

[Jonff]

Not done it in the Clio but I managed to do it in a FRP zetec-s

 

[VeinAST]

Few people posted vids of going 140+ on the Autobahn in 5th hitting the limiter.

 

[meeeees]

yeh i have, altho i think my abusive driving skills are why ive made my gearbox and engine shart itself in the last 23 days

 

[jesus]

Show off!

 

[gaz_5103]

ive done it in the st. was showing just over 160.

 

[micallef1990]

[Brett]

dont think i have hit in 4th....

I haven't either. Doesn't quite have enough power to do it. Goes to find a hill......

 

[Scrooge]

The dci can do it but it hasn't got much of a rev range lol awwww

 

[Donz144]

I hit my increased limiter at 8000rpm in 5th doing 160 in Switzerland....I sort of miss my Clio some times. You don't need to get anywhere near the limiter in the Scooby to get best results.

I almost did it today, got it JUST under 6100 revs and it wouldn't!

 

[Ronnie R]

Imagine if you hit someone at that speed...

I laughed for some reason not for them gettin hurt but 2 see them fly

 

[KungFuSpaghetti]

can hit the limiter in top gear for poops and giggles, but wouldn't ever do it on a pubic highway as its not worth the risk.

 

[Dan R]

Yeah done it a few times. Cant imagine u cud do it in a standard 172/182!!!

 

[KungFuSpaghetti]

I think you would probably need a hill.












or a cliff

 

[lewis123]

[KungFuSpaghetti]

not advisable to leave it sat there for too long really

 

[hardinglad]
