Police Mode? Dealer can change ECU ? settings to provide a digital readout of speed in kph on the dash. I believe it shows in the area where fuel consumption / DTE display is.Police mode has this option, along with disabled speed limiter.....I am not sure if it is readily available to non-police vehicles. Get on nicely with your service manager, and he might provide the mod.

I heard the limiter comes in at 230 but unless my speedo is out mine went to 240 no problem at all, so id say it should make 280 no prob. I'm with you on that one owna 240 and the limiter cuts in. For my 5 cents worth it would be a very brave man or woman (person) who was game to drive a T on standard suspension beyond this speed, it's a choice between a three legged racehorse or a broken masted yatch in a leeward sea.Peter even if you can remove the speed limiter I reckon you're gonna have to do some suspension work. My guess is 280kph. Boot mounted parachute anyone? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8664-xr6t300kph/page/4/#findComment-85660 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has copped a lot of abuse so far and I agree that the gear shift is not that flash, though to my surprise it has not failed yet. What in your view is the wink link in the box?PETERAPS Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8664-xr6t300kph/page/4/#findComment-85909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
