The other day i was driving down the highway and i got a lil bored so i decided to have some fun around some turns and when i got out of the last one i let it rip. I was in 4th and only doin between 5 to 6 thousand rpms(don't remember exactly) and about 115mph and the engine cut out on me...i didn't think it was supposed to do that quite that early. I know some cars are governed by speed but i thought our cars were done with rpm's and it would only do that at a certain point in redline. WHY O WHY [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 Our cars and all cars are goverened to stop people from doing exactly what you were trying to do I mean come on 115 mph on a highway, give me a break. Is there someplace you had to get to that fast?? I for one am glad that are cars are rpm goverened, because I know that we can't hit as high as I used to in my mustang, bronco, or charger r/t.

Rep Power: 0 the govenor on the lx cuts in at 115mph, and i believe the one on the ex comes in at 125...
you can override the govenor tho, but its gonna cost you, you gotta buy yourself a new ECU and jet chip!

Rep Power: 0 car shaking? is something wrong here? i've been up to 115 and the car was smooth as silk. i have an ex, but i don't think that should matter, cause the shaking at speed sounds like it could be a suspension thing, i don't know for sure. hmmm [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
