Default Can we disable the speed limiter?
Does anyone know how to do this.

I live in Mexico and speed limits are not enforced.

My last car was a Seat Toledo Sport with 210 HP and it ran up to 245 KMH, roughly 153 MPH.

So you can imagine how i feel when my GT stops pulling at 130 MPH/ 210 KMH.

I think it is areodynamicly limited. It gets kind of harry at 130+mph. It feels like there is a little lift at the rear at higher speeds.

Mine feels stable at those speeds, and I can assure you it's electronically limited.

I know this is not a big deal for you guys because you rarely get a chance to go this fast but I can do it every weekend when I go out of town and I'm not talking about getting it up to speed just to see how that feels, I'm talking about going at a stedy pace above 120 MPH.

Stage 1 doesn't eliminate it? My mopar PCM eliminates it in my car.

The stock SRT-4 is not limited so the Stage I kit should not be limited.

Yes it is electricly limited but the reason it is there IS the aerodynamics. I would not recomend going over 130 with out doing some suspension and aero tweaks. just my 2 cents
