All cars sold in America must have speed limiters on them. This is done per police request and you can find it on the web. This way you can't really outrun the police or at least not for long.

 

So is the rev limiter just to protect the engine?

 

It's really suppose to protect against over running your tires. ^^^

 

Alot of cars run tires that are only good for around 10-116ish. After that there are problems.

 

and yourself in a way. the rev limiter is to protect teh engine. you can realy ride up and down the road at 120 all day, tis not that hard on the engine, its that GETTING TO 120 that kills it. sure, 120 is hard on the suspension ,the tires, the brakes when you stop, everything. you're flat out killing your car. its evne hard on the engine, but not as hard as that getting to 120.

 

Well i won't be doing that again that's for sure .... []
