I think the standard is 105, but it seems they'll go a little beyond it. I lost a race to an SS because of it.

So is my truck governed at 105? B/c I sure had it going 110 today to show a punk a$$ kid in his riced out Impreza that it was nothing special.... felt pretty good. He sure didn't expect what he got.

I was definitely at 110 and it wasn't holding me back. Does the Edge maybe push back the governor?

And to think that I removed my Subaru sedan's 135 mph stock limiter so it wouldn't be in the way. It passes 105 mph in the first quarter mile.

I've had my truck up to 120 vs. an Acura RSX (non-TypeS) and he was extremely confused as to how I was still there. [8D]

Yeah... this kid just had a Subaru wagon with an exhaust, unnecessary spoiler, lowered with way too many stickers. So, I figured it was all show and no go. He was in the fast lane going 70. I was on his *** REAL close. As soon as I could, I pulled into the right lane and floored it. As soon as I started moving over though, he was flooring it and had the edge at first, but as I was passing him he didn't seem real happy and pretty confused.
