Lightbulb Top Speed

Well we all know that the electronically controlled top speed of the 330's (and most other BMW's, but they're controlled to 155) is 128 mph, but I was wondering if anyone has had their electronically controlled top speed chip taken out. If so, what is the real, natural top speed. Also, how much does it cost to take out the top speed chip. Finally, in the USA, are there any roads that actually DO NOT have speed limits? If so, where? Thanks.

Yes it can be taken out as well as the rev-limiter. It depends on the car for the actuall top speed and how hard you want to push the engine. With out the rev-limiter it will go and go and go until it explodes provided you have enough road, etc. etc. Yes there are roads that do not have speed limits. Check out states that are large, flat and have a small population.
