Racing
 
Before I modified my Monte Carlo it had the normal 112 limiter. Have you ever been in a race where you couldn't catch someone cuz of your limiter kicking in? This guy was in a late 90's mustang gt. I think stock other than being ridiculously loud. We raced and he got ahead once we hit a 100. Then was ahead for like 2 miles and I was like no way is this happening. I didn't want him to think he had won so I followed him on a little but till the road came to a corner causing us to slow down. Once thro the corner I was back on him going about 40 then hit gas and just smoke by him with ease. I was happy I could prove my point lok

No never been in that situation racing. That would suck to not win because of the factory settings. Nice you recovered and pulled away... :)

Haha yeah I am careful. Just love the feel of street racing. Usually only race up to the speed limit or a few over but we were only ones on road and figured ehh why not

I've never had the factory limiter make me lose a race but then again that was one of the first things to go on turbo Monte and my daily driver is a 2013 focus st which don't shut off till 155mph from factory so I'm good there lol.

I can't say I've ever sat on the limiter for 2 miles.

Lol I wasn't limiting it out while time once I hit I stayed a little under 112
