Disappointed with Cayenne purchase

Just picked up a Cayenne S. It was shinny and blue and thought it would be good match to my 996 turbo. I couldn't resist. Now that I am starting to learn the car, or truck or SUV, still not sure what I should call it.
I am amazed that I am actually getting into this thing.

Until this, see the attached picture. 150MPH limit?

Really? how am I spose keep up with Cleveland traffic?

why are you disappointed in your purchase? btw, that sticker comes equipped on cayennes that came oem with all season tires as the speed rating on the tires isn't high enough for the top speed if the car. so while the car can go a little faster, its a warning saying not to as the tires may fail.

Swap on some Z-rated tires and you're good to go. You may want to wait another week or two though.

Exactly what I am going to do. Going to run Blizacks in the winter and something speed rated for summer.

I had no idea these things were so cool. Who would have thought it?

You have a bigger problem. Someone is bad at math.

240 kph = 149.129 mph.
