Who here has hit the Speed Governor?
I'm curious to see what your speedometer said when you felt the fuel shutoff.
I have hit it a few times and everytime the speedometer read 148/149.
But I had my Garmin Handheld GPS with me and it only read 145.
BTW: Only for the CL/TL/CLS/TLS, I'm just curious to see what you have read the speedometer at.

pgatour1,
150MPH and you don’t like to wear seat belts huh ??? You must not like your life too much.
But then again, I guess a wreck at that speed it wouldn’t much matter.
As for me, even since I got my springs installed I still don’t feel comfortable in the car much past 110-115.
I can cruise at 85-90 all day, but once past 100 it just gets too “squirrely.

Yeah shit at 150 the seatbelt will cut you in two if you crash, Your pretty much dead unless it's your lucky day. WHat I was saying about the seatbelt though is I don't like it on this car, but then again I did do 150 in this car plenty of times.
Lets see. What roads have I hit the governor on
I-8 In CA
I-5 In CA
I-10 In CA
I-8 in AZ
I-10 In AZ
101 in AZ
202 in AZ
I-17 in AZ
As far as governors in the Northeast to answer Scooters question better, I hit 155 in the XJR on
684 in NY
287 in NY
I-95 in NY
I-95 in CT
Alero hit Limiter on
A lot of highways in PA,MD,NJ,NY,CT, VT, DE.
Too many highways to list.

684 I can see, but 287 is also infested with Cops... Also these roads are WAY too crowded to go those speeds. You could easily get yourself and others killed
It's not like this is Montana
