I got mine on a straightaway on I-75 and got her to 119..but that's with 4 lanes empty for approx 1/2 mile...Admittedly, it was FUN, and she was capable of doing MUCH faster..But would this accident scaldedchevy describes have happened if the engine was governed at say 70 mph?
SURE, it takes away the fun factor, but saves lives..There is NO practical purpose for allowing a car to go that fast.
