Speed Limiter

[racerb]

I'm with cali yaris on this one, my '87 Celica GT-S has a limiter on it also, and it's set for right around 124-126mph. The last time I had the Celica at Virginian International Raceway for a Track Event, could not get above 124 on the 5400ft. back straight. It was like hitting a wall, but would hold right at that speed. Speed limiters have been a fact of life for year due to Government regulations, the Insurance Industry has pushed for these things to protect us from ourselves, and to cover their asses from speed related fatalities. I have raced sportscars since the early 80s, if you want to call a '74 Honda Civic 1200 or a '84 Nissan Pulsar a sportscar, well there was the '84 Honda CRX Showroom Stock car, but they all made great track cars. Any car can be a great sportscar if properly built, and if used under the right circumstances, ie: not out in crowded city streets, just gotta use good judgement and learn your cars limits. Oh and by the way, even the little 1200 Civic would run 108mph with a drafting partner!!
