RE: A Honda beat me!!
My 2000 will cut out one of three ways...
1) Fuel cutoff no matter what gear I'm in, if I hit around 6250 RPM I can feel the engine cut out. Let me tell you, scared the **** outta me the first time it happened. Thought I blew the motor.
2) 5th gear floored (around 3500 RPM) doing 117
3) 4th gear doing 120 close to redline.
The last two there are not as dramatic in how the engine cuts out it's more like a bad miss... But yes, they do have rev and speed limiters as part of the ECU programming, if you get a chip, you can delete these electronic limiters...Not sure if I would delete the RPM limiter unless you have a moded engine to handle the higher RPMs.

I guess your not 18 like us v6 owners. Stupid is always on in our head, we won't understand why the cop pulls us over either.

So basically you are going 125 on the highway for some period of time, and finally he comes blowing by you?
Stupid is the word for this. You don't need to raise your limiter. The only place my car goes over 100 MPH is the track or very deserted backroads.

the 96-98 GT's are governed at 136 mph.
so why does my car stop at 120 mph you ask? same reason my did.
3.73 gear's!! think about it..... at 120 mph in 5th gear turning about 4K, it kicks in because that's where you'd be at 136 with stock gears. a dyno tune/chip will fix this.
