The Y has to be in parenthesis to be 186+... I thought the same thing at one time and found out differently when teching for a land speed run....

Why is there a Speed Governor
Because there's no such thing as a Speed President.

To remove the speed limiter requires work in the tune, and therefore you could loose your warranty in the process...

Man... we have the HKS Speed Limit Defencer in imports. Something that has been around since the early 90s. It basically operates as a "fooler" for the factory speed limiter without re-writing the ECU settings. I'm surprised nobody has done this yet for domestics.
I find it hard enough to find enough room on the highway to go WOT without catching up to obstacles, and sane reasoning states to take it to the track if you want to go all out (don't be an ass on the road for the safety of yourself and others). With enough tracks in the USA, I'm sure they all have track day. Balls of fun and no cops. The fact I love about my SS is that it has power on tap, and it is there if I need to scoot for a quick second to get away from ass-clowns on the road. Other than that, it's the speed limit.

The Pzero's are "Y" rated thats 186+ so if the limiter is cause of the tires then there shouldn't be a limiter at all.

young guy, new camaro, doesn't know why there is a speed limiter but wants to remove it. I'll predict we see another "wrecked my camaro" thread within a couple months.
yes, I went there |
