Speed limiter at 190kmh??

[canadian_ti]

Is it just me or is my car really cutting off at 190kmh(118mph)??? I had read on the internet that I could go up to 215km/h(133mph). There I was racing my buddy's Integra, I was leading then bam i hit 190 and he just kept on going. I just pissed me off. Is their any way to get rid of this? I'm embarassed that I can only go that speed, I know that my car can go faster and it wants to go faster!

There is a really big thread about this and the REV limiter.

That sounds about right.

133 mph is probably a 328.
Only thing you can do is to chip the car to remove the limiter.

Ive only gotten my car to 123mph...so I know it will go to at least that.

Indicated and actual are two different things. The speedo will indicate higher than actual.
