the purple wire off the VSS sends signal to the ECm and at 108mph the internal speed governor kicks in.

if you cut the wire and install a switch, you can break the signal, allowing your car to pass 108mph..

Side Effect: Speedo goes dead!

i raced an rx-8 from a light, stayed a half car ahead till about 40, then pulled slowly away but ended up beating him pretty bad

go race em, and ask them why they didn't just buy a 5.0
