Rev Limit Cuts Engine at 120 mph
I was on a road trip in my RS thru desert land. I opened-it-up a few times, and each time the rev limiter cut in at 120 mph. Elevation was about 4,000 ft. I expected to be able to go faster than 120 mph!
Any thoughts?

Ya shouldnt do that unless you didn’t upshift. Im able to cruise at that speed
I am not an idiot. Know what gear I WAS IN.Ya shouldnt do that unless you didn’t upshift. Im able to cruise at that speed
Bought the cart new. What is a "valet tune"? I don't track or abuse the vehicle. Seem fine driving with everyday spirited driving under 120 mph.I didn’t say you were. I was stating it should not do that unless you did not upshift.
Something is up. Any chance it was a used car? Maybe a valet tune? Those limit boost or speed or rev limit?
I was in 6th gear. As I watched digital speedo I saw the rpms qaapproach redline and the engine cYou sure it’s the rev limiter? What gear were you in?
Vehicle is 100% stock.Is your RS stock or Tuned OP?...Stock the RS will rip pas 120...Not sure was going on with yours....
There was a sudden loss of power.Is it rev limit or speed limit? Rev will have more of a break up feel the speed limit will be smooth and just not go any faster
Hummm ... okay ... sounds like a possibility ... but I am clueless on "my key setup".My guess is your key is setup as a mykey with a speed limit coded to it
I apologize ....I didn’t say you were. I was stating it should not do that unless you did not upshift.

I am unclear what you mean by "other key".That is what it sounds like.
OP, find a racetrack try again and use the other key to the car. Don't do these runs on public roads.
I will check the manual. Thanks!If you bought the car new, it's in the owners manual
I did a quick read about MyKey ...I have never used that function. Will try to clear any settings once I figure out how to do it.Hummm ... okay ... sounds like a possibility ... but I am clueless on "my key setup".
Okay.You get 2 fobs.
Thats what he is referring to when he says other key
Hummm ... okay ... sounds like a possibility ... but I am clueless on "my key setup".
The MYKey video shows the maximum restricted speed to be only 80 mph ... I often drive over 80mph and in this instance, I was at 120mph.If you read the link I posted above, it will all make sense

"Tracker" ... noI own a fleet and can set speed limits on my company vehicles. Would you happen to have a tracker on the car?
The MYKey video shows the maximum restricted speed to be only 80 mph .Yeah the MyKey feature can program an overall speed limit in the PCM depending on what key fob you use.
There was also two places in Forscan to limit the speed called Adjustable Speed Limiter and Speed Limitation, I would check to see if these are activated .
Way above my pay grade ... I have no idea what Forscan is. But Thanks.
