The 225bhp T5's (850's) are not limited, top speed 149mph. The 240bhp T5's are limited to 155mph, but realistically won't go above 160 when standed even with the limiter removed.

Chipping does remove the limiter on the cars that have them (C/V/S70 and S60 and T5R/850R's).

I'd love to see that article if you remember where it was from! That banked oval track must have been in a vacuum!
