120? who said? they are wrong.
note he said 2azfe - the 4cyl.
most 4cyls are built with T-rated tires, which means like 115... for the TIRE. most V6s ship with H or V rated tires, which are good to like 130-140.
that's the main reason for the governor.
if you have Z rated (150+) tires, then it might be safer to remove the governor.
but like everyone else said - going that fast on a public road is just plain dumb. i HAD the rsm on my car, and pretty much all it did was change the governor. I don't need that, so i took it off.
Ron - in my current 98 (but with good struts, ground controls, and 18x8 rims w/ nice big meats on em) tiem was consistently hitting 140 at the end of the front straight at Texas World Speedway in the 2.9 mile CCW configuration. Some purpose built track cars were getting upwards of 160 at the end of the front straight. At the same time, I was hitting about 95 in my miata on falken azenis st-215's. he and i were on the track at the same time, but were apparently consistently opposite of each other, because we never saw each other during our sessions. go figure.
