Mine didnt. I hit 125 in my old 3rd gen.
Its not too smart to fine out were the governer comes in at, good chance you'll get f***ed by a cop for criminal speeding. In cali if you get caught goin over 100 your automatically goin to jail for vehicular manslaughter even if you dont nail any1. No more haulin @ss for me, **** I got to go to court this friday

Maybe my wording is a bit off but the word manslaughter is in there somewere. I cant argue with you on it but ask some that lives in LA and got pulled over at 100+ mph. My guess is if they crash they are gonna die or kill some1 most of the time since there is no room to go that fast, if some1 does go that fast then they must be doing something stupid to maintaine that speed due to all the traffic example: cutting off several people, ect...

Im not sure about the manslaughter charges but I know you got strait to jail for going over a 100mph, I hit a 100 at least once a day. Hitman what happened why are you going to court, I hope you didnt get pulled over going that fast??

Well I "heard" that from some1 but have not found out for myself and do not intend on finding out. Naah I got pulled over for crimnal speeding 77 in a 40, I think thats an automatic 8points and a 6month suspension of drivers license. I talked to my lawer and he said pleed not guilty and just postpon and keep resceduling the trail like 3-4 time and the cop usually doest show up. I think ill try it, what harm can possible come out of that?

Just keeping it real. Incidentally, in many states (I do not know about California), the ticket is issued and either you are released on your pledge to appear or your license is held as bail. Not speaking from personal experience, but if you tick the cop off enough, he can take you in, especially if you're going that fast. That said, I consistently drive 20-30 mph over the posted limit, but any slower here in Speed-lanta will get you killed.

"Lying" is when some1 says something knowing that it is not true. I did not know it wasnt true. Therefor I was misinformed, thats all.

A 6spd will go well over 150 but the Auto I think hits the wall at 130 but not too sure about the auto.

I was just told that 95-99 SE with 16" rims have a 135mph limiter. Is this true?

95-99 SEs do not have a limiter. They just run out of breath b/c of the fixed intake manifold. I've taken my 98 SE over 140 on several occaisions.
