can somebody please fill me in.

i've heard that the auto trans is doing a downshift at 150 mph. is that true? why is it done? how can it be eliminated?

i'm planning to take that car to europe, and the last thing i want is a speed limiter! :U

They are the normal AFS silver paint with 9.5 fronts 285/40's and the rear is 11" with 315/35's. The offset is the GS standard 52mm. My only real complaint is that the clear coat is susceptible to brake pad dust fusing, (pad dust sticks to the wheels and can't get it off). :seeya. Purchased from them off ebay sale for like $785 total about 2 years ago.
