even if it is governed at 120, by then you should know who was faster. Roll races are usually way over by then.

and i have to agree with 99345hp, those speeds are ridiculous, and unless your on a closed course, your asking for trouble.
you dont believe me?. by the way it took forever if that is what you are wondering. how do you know?

Its freaking scary driving that fast. No reason to be driving that fast unless you trying to shake the cops. Haha.

Just leave the governor on in my opinion. Get it tuned out is cool but how often would you go that fast?

I would rather take a ticket or even go to jail, before I go and try to run and kill someone else. Yeah you might get away, but you are taking so much more of a risk running than just pulling over.

no i dont. i've had 2 3800 camaros, those things are turds after 100. fastest i could get either one (gps) was 124, and that took forever. not to mention that was after removing the speed limiter that usually would kick on at 118.

Going this fast is crazy and I will leave my limiter where its at even though I have hptuners. The door seals start to leak and it gets really loud.
