Re: Speed governing

["Sean Ford" <sean@nwh.org>]

I don't know if my car is governed, but the tire related restriction is due
to the H rated tires supplied with my '92 100. Given my car's weight, and
extremely short 5th gear (approx 23mph per 1000rpm), I highly doubt it
*needs* to be electronically governed... I think I'm well within that 130
mph max.
