Re: A8 Electronic Speed Limitation?

I don't know how to defeat the speed governer but I bet someone like Ned
Richie could tell you.  The governer is put on cars because the manufacturer
doesn't want to put V or Z tires on the car - either because he is too cheap
or because of ride quality.  BTW, how fast do you go in Montana with your
200Q?  I just may have to go up there...
