Does anyone know if the fiesta ST has a limited to speed due to law n not what it can actually do. Like a limiter on it ?

If so can it be removed :P

    I think the limit is how much your pants fill up before you give in and have to stop.

    Lol to be honest I don't get too boot mine too much above 70, traffic to and from work on the m27, go out in the forest and can't do more than 40/50 because of horses and other animals, I go out at night on the motorway and get pulled over for 'being out too late' . Im Feeling a track day soon!

    It'll easily do 120-30. Mines is only a 1.6 diesel and I've had 120 out of it... On a private road of coarse ;)

    Fair but that's on a dyno so not road conditions. No wind friction etc , but saying that it did look like it could keep going!

    Ah I can't find it :(

    Would be nice to be able to get 155 mph, but with the tolerances allowed up to 10% then it's likely the car is running below that, closer to 139 than 155.

    My ZS has 155bhp and I've had 130 out of it (on private land :p) so im sure the ST can do better!
