The speed limiter is there for a reason. Your tires are not validated or designed for speeds above that limiter. Driving above that limit could mean catastrophic (-- let me repeat that -- "CATASTROPHIC" failure of the tire.
At 150 miles an hour, you become a missle. You endanger not only yourself, but anyone within visibility of the occurance. (flying debris)
Again - not to lecture: But what are your Driving School Credentials? Unless you've been thru a very indepth driving cirriculum, you -- and no one else - has any business going over 100 mph. (....I really should say "the speed limit" -- but I'm also practical.....)
What I don't think people adequately understand is that there is this law called physics. You may be able to GET to 150mph - but people forget how long it takes to go from 150 to zero.
You and I may be good - but we can't re-write the law of physics.
I must also point out that when you open the electronics - you run the very real possibility of having a portion of your warranty invalidated.
Now - again - I'll repeat it one more time: I don't want this to sound like a lecture - but unfortunately it IS a lecture because as I pointed out - not only are you putting yourself in a very likely scenario that will put you in "That Great Chevy Showroom in the Sky" -- but you may take one or more people with you - most of which had no intention of doing so.
If you talk to people who have survived catastrophic accidents, invariably they'll say (assuming they were at fault) "...well - it seemed like a good idea at THE TIME..........."
So please -- I'm begging you - leave the computer alone and stop driving at high speeds on a public highway -- if you want to do daredevil stuff TAKE IT TO THE TRACK!
(....I DO care what happens to you - those around you - and the Camaro we built for you!)
Lecture over.

All taken into consideration. Thank you.
