Default Top Speed
From what I know, this car has a "governor" on it and the top speed is limited to 130 mph. Is there any way to get rid of this "governor". Has anyone ever done this? And if so, at what speed did your car top out?

most chips will remove the speed limiter, but final gearing will cut you off around 147-149.

Out of Steam? You mean it simply won't push any further?

148 is the supposed top speed for the 2.8. Is the 1.8 the same?
