Default Whoa NO GOVERNER! IS THERE SUPPOSED TO BE 1!??

OK here is the scoop, i was driving on the highway when along came a turbo charged VW Jetta GLI, a brand new one!! he reved his engine and it all begun we picked up speed and then i noticed he was left behind all of a sudden, i looked down at my gauge and i was going 142 MPH!!! and my car was still going no doubt in my mind it will go the marked 150!!!!

The only thing that will slow you down will be the red-line in 5th gear. By the way, don't hit the rev-limiter in 5th gear, your car won't be too happy.

Magazines says the 5th gen lude hits 140 @ 7000- 7400 RPM's and there is still room to pull to 150@ 8000.

The accord 5th gen vtec and preludes dont have goveners. I had my old motor topped out. The h22 i havnt yet bc i am wiser now but i know it can get their in probably half the time it took my f22b1 too.
