You may , discuss the issue on the , or , as appropriate. Top speed is as usual limited to 155mph, and as a measure of the performance when the limiter kicks in, even doing so gradually, the reduction in acceleration is marked. The rest of the car is still a somewhat mixed bag. Features are standard unless otherwise noted. New catalysts that can are intolerant of typical high-sulfur U. Archived from on 28 June 2014.
