Overdrive is your highest gear. If overdrive is off, it will stay in the next lowest gear, until the computer says otherwise.
You will know if OD is on or off because there's a light in the middle of the two larger gauges (near the turn signals) that will light up when OD is off.

LOL! Instead of guessing y can't we just put are cars on jacks and run it red? I mean will that work cuz of factors like the weight of the car, wind resist, and the fact I don't have a long enoguh extention cord to get from my house to my car to run a fan.

since i put my cold air intake in, it wont go any faster, not that i expected it to. but its hitting top speed for me about 118 and is at about 4000 rpms and feels like it wants to go faster. and i agree, there is no reason to go faster than that, except its so fun!!

The factory set the govener at 130 to prevent from having to supply "Z" rated tires on the cars ... since it's a pulse counter there are two ways to defeat it ...
