Leave your speed governor there, don't crash/die/blow up/take out other cars/jack up my insurance rates as a young driver. Pweez and fank you

Seriously though, you're not gonna get much help with that here, and the speed governor's there for a reason. Tires can't handle much more speed, assuming you had any grip with all the lift you'd have at those speeds.

Yah, I was being a bit sarcastic by assuming he wouldn't possibly be trying to drive that fast on public roads. Sadly, of course, he is.

You posted this thread in a sub forum that has nothing to do with the question you asked. I was not referring to your car being in the showcase, but rather your thread being in the wrong spot.

Welcome to the forum.

Why in the hell would you not want t a car that would hit 130 in the 1/4 mile? Unless of course you want to have a slow car, but reading your post it seems like you want a faster car.

Search is going to be your best friend as well as browsing through the third gen tl forum. It will give you answers to questions you never knew you even had.

Once again, welcome to the forum.

It's pretty senseless to run a car on public highways at 130mph+. Here in NC, for every 1mph over 100mph you spend 1 extra day in jail.

I'm not trying to be a hypocrite as I have (and I'm sure most of the people here) gone that fast on public roads when I was younger, but I matured out of that pretty quickly. There's no sense in running cars at that high of speeds anyhow...if you guys (girls) really want to run your cars head down to the strip and run them out in the 1/4 mile.

I don't think you're going to get a lot of sympathy here regarding top speeds, because I can think of less than 5 members here that actually road track their cars and should be at all concerned with speed limiters.

It said if its car was able to reach 130 in the quarter mile it would drive the car off the cliff..... Seems to me like it doesnt like the track to much



IT is in place of HE or SHE until further determination is made

Have you actually run him in the 1/4?

Racing someone at 130mph on public streets is wreckless. If you're like 99% of the people you don't know how to handle the car at those speeds and once the car begins to get away from you, you would not know what to do with it.

i hit the governor once, in 2 years. it was very early, on a road that no one takes in the fall/winter since it goes to the beach, and it was flat out scary. but i did have all the stock suspenion in, now i think it would be different, but its just not worth it

I don't think the TL has a governor. One of the forum members here took an 07 TLS to Germany and ran 149 before the fuel injectos cut off. The is video on here somewhere.

6mt does not until somewhere after 135mph. 5at does. 5at base has no governor, mine has been past 155mph. The injectors shutting off as you mentioned is the governor.
