I'm just guessing here...You have an Auto which is speed limited to somewhere around that area.

Also, to be frank...you probably shouldn't be going 130mph anyway.

Yes you can adjust your RPM limiter with most hand-held tuners...and if a tree gets in your way, it shouldn't have been there in the first place!

130? That's ridiculous. I got busted going 148 through death valley and it was not a pleasant experience. Pretty much I lost my license for 6 months, had to pay up the a** in fines, got my car towed and got a free night stay in the county jail. No good. Remember: it's not how fast you can go, it's how quickly you get there.

SCT AND DIABLOSPORT ARE THE MOST POPULAR!



the caps lock button is on the left side of the keyboard. press it



if it just flat cuts off its a limiter, if it feels like it runs out of steam it's because overdrive isn't desiged for high speed runs (which you shouldn't be doing anyway you dumbshxt, roads are for everybody not your own personal playground)


and post pics of your car dammit!
