Taking off the governer( speed limiter)
After 1 month of driving the a Buick.
I get my baby girl back this weekend.
My question is
Has anyone successfully taken off the governer on their Cl.
I wanted to know because I dont get out of 3rd until I'm over 90
My 5th gear seems wasted.

5th gear is for cruising only; it's not geared for acceleration. Your 5th gear isn't wasted.

I actually thought the car was aerodynamically limited, in that at about 147mph, 4th gear isn't maxxed, but the engine/gearing can't physically push anymore against the air resistance.
Anyone with SC or headers or something get past 147?

I now drive an accord....
At least in the 6spd its not a gearing or HP limit, nor is it a aerodynamic limit. I hit the limiter when my car was stock and was still slowly picking up speed. I know I shouldn't be going that fast, but I wanted to say I did it and now I drive a lot slower

Might not work on the CLS, but I have gotten around speed limiters in the past by disconnecting the speed sensors. Your speedo won't work & you will get a code. But the limiter will be bypassed, at least on a stick shift. Most auto's need a speed sensor in order to shift.

After 110...speeding up slows significantly for me...
After I shift to 4th, 110-120 accel is really really slow...and 120+ well...yeah...
I haven't gotten to anything past 138 in my car even after a long stretch on Beltway 8 around here...hmmm...

sure, he won't know his speed, but he'll know if the max speed by the governor is exceeded.

That's because 4th and 5th gear are overdrive gears.

BUY MY CL - see garage!
This post is funny..
I've had my 01 CL-S to 135 and it felt like it still had plenty of pull, the guy driving just didn't have the balls to find out
Next Time!
