This is kinda unfair not for me but for the FTO which got overtaken by me. I was on the highway cruising at about 110km/h and decided to check out if the iridium and new panel filter made any difference.

The FTO was going around 140km/h when he overtook me, so i decided to follow him. I was behind him, not flooring it but just keeping up about 5 cars behind.

Then i see a clear stretch and i floor it, i was at 180km/h when i was tailing him at about 1/4 car length behind then i overtook him at around 185km/h.

Its unfair for him because he has his 180km/h speed limiter!
Well it was nice to know that my 318i can now reach 190km/h once again! I had problem after i changed to 17inch rims but now with the iridium/panel filter its all sorted!

Cute little Asia/Europe market sports coupe made by Mitsubishi. I think it's a bit tinier than the Eclipse... they didn't have the Eclipse (previous model) in Japan, just the FTO and GTO (3000GT)

Wow, that's a pretty respectable HP level, almost 100hp/liter!
