Kind sir.;

This discussion is about the speed signal wire to the Diff lock, not the easily 
disconnectable jumper
that implemented the top speed governer.

Proper civil disobedience, upon which this great country was founded, REQUIRES 
any sentient S-car owner to eliminate the beancounter-driven-H-rated-OEM-tire 
top speed governator. You can rest assured the Chuck Norris doesn't allow a 
governator to slow him down, nor, I suspect would either Tom Scientology or 
Bruce Willis be slowed down.
