I didn't mean yours, i mean any of these smartasses who want to take out the governor on their stock-tired cars

i have different tires on mine now because the stock conti's cant even hold up to driving on ice let alone to just normal driving. but anyways, thanks for the info about the tune being out. i may just have to take out the speed sensor for awhile and see how it goes

This is some cool info, i wondered why my car had a 140mph speedo and the other 2.2's i looked at would only say 120.

for anyone with a 2.2 that wants to oust your limiter, Mine has the upgraded (125 mph limit). I have hit it 3 or 4 times, and it takes ******* FOREVER to get it up there.

Takes too long in a 2.4

If someone made me sit in a 2.2 and wait until it got to 120 I would be pissed

yea, it takes a very, very long time. i had a full exhaust, intake, and the car didn't move over 80. 80 to 100 took a very long time, anything over 100 was just stupid and a waste of time, not to mention good luck finding the empty road to do that on in north jersey.

yea, if you're not going around 80 you better not be in the left lane. people will honk, throw **** at you, and probably try to run you off the road when they pass you on the shoulder

I have no interest in bikes whatsoever, a good amount of people I know that ride them think they're king **** of the road in them and do nothing but drive around revving the **** out of them and burning out.

Not to mention, one of my very good friends just recently died 2 days after he got one.

Meh, I want RWD and convertable, and I'd rather stick with a 4cyl

My choices are basically Miata, Solstice, Sky, or S2000

Miata's look gay, Sky and Solstice are too expensive, and S2000 is perfect =]
