eclipse gt vs. my speed governor

Hey
I was on the 405 at about 3:30am just cruising around with a friend, when some eclipse GT (newer gen ones) zooms passed us. I asked my friend is she'd mind me trying to race him. So I start chasing after him and I was quite surprised when I was actually able to catch up to him, and pass him. But then, once I reached about like 117mph my fuel was cut off and it wouldn't let me get any further -_-. The eclipse then just pulls past me. I was pretty mad. Anyone know if the JET reflash takes away the top speed governor..?

Why are idiot chevy fans posting here? This is a HONDA website.

I twice had an 89 Cavilier z24. V6 2.8L. And it was slower (and gobbled way more gas) than my 1.8 I4 that I have right now, and gave me a bunch of problems.

Chevy or Honda? I'll stick with my vic...

lol so even if you could go faster the civic would pass you when you run outa gas after awhile. lol I did that to a mustang GT before, goin up the 5 frwy. by 150 he was 2 cars up and we did that for 80 miles. result: he ran outa gas and I kept going lol. so just depends on what kinda racing you like to do.
