Maybe you shouldn't be going near 100 on public roads in the first place.

Not sure what to tell you. I have set the cruise at 138 mph before and jammed out for about 10 miles.
Just don't hit a pothole going that fast.
My governor is set at 150 and she will do it.

It's all about 4th gear vtec. That will put you over 100mph, and leave 2 gears left.
You should be able to get close to 150 in 5th gear vtec for the extra power.
But I do not condone breaking any posted speed limit signs. Follow your local, and state laws while driving.

Somehow I see this being something deeper than just removing a piece...

How confident are you that the issue lies within the governor? There could be a small possible chance that you won't break 100 with it removed. Maybe your car is losing power?

You spelled "ebrake" wrong.

No TL has a 100mph top speed limiter. Something is wrong with your car if it won't do more than 100mph.
IIRC all 04-06 models and 07-08 6MT Type-S models are limited by drag to 150-160mph (varies obviously). They do have an electronic limiter, but it's pretty much unreachable in stock form. 07-08 base and Type-S models with the 5AT are limited to 130mph, which is reachable in stock form.
Here's a video of a 5AT base model (the slowest of all TLs) easily breaking 100mph.

You guys are funny....
....but, to answer the OP's question-to remove the governor, doesn't it require a 2/3's vote?
