actual ECU controlled "limp mode" doesn't kick in until around 270-280. I've had plenty of spirited 10-15 miles drives where I started at 220 and ended at 240 or so. I've come nowhere close to limp mode and I live in Texas.

That said, some people (myself included) have noticed at times some sluggish low RPM response when the oil is > 220. I don't know what that is, but it isn't limp mode.
