Epic cruise control!
I wouldnt have the balls to set the cruise control at such a high velocity!

Dackelone · 03-22-2013, 12:47 PM

Yea.. mine does too.

I forget at what speed I tested mine once at those speeds. I think ~140mph. But really it is too dangerous to drive with the cc on at those speeds - even in Germany. I mainly use it when I have to drive slow at 130 kph speed limit sections on the 'Bahn.

Btw... if your driving that fast its probably a better idea to leave your TDC/DSC left on... all it will take is one severe lane change to convince you.

And is that the oil temp gauge still showing nothing?

those cold turbo's must love you.

LAZ · 03-22-2013, 02:32 PM

haha, no the temp gauge was reading meth flow..

Unless you're as good of a driver as you think you are

I would also suggest leaving the DSC on at those speeds. The system does nothing while you're going straight other than save your life when you need it.

I also love the MPG at 130, 21.7! That's not bad!

C'mon guys, yes it's a nice addition, but lots of us in back than in Germany went faster speeds without even having ABS in the car. Still remember my first Ford Capri 2.8i, flying down the Bahn at 220kph and not worrying about DCS, EPS or ABS, gosh...getting old
