Re: How to disable the speed governer/limiter?

I have a story.

Was heading home after work in my cavy and this guy Devin, I knew him but not personally, had just bought a dodge Neon SRT-4. And of course he pulls to the left of me, gasses it and wants to race, I don't so he just pretty much races himself and yeah talks shit about my car the next day big deal. Just a few days ago I saw his Neon. The entire right corner, Fender, Bumper. Parts of the door. Were completely mashed up and destroyed. the guy refuses to comment to me.

I assume he was doing what he does best, racing, came up behind a car that was braking and had to turn into the left lane to avoid. Now his nice shiny Neon is just as good as the next POS on the road. The guy can't afford to pay the other driver, legal fees, etc and have his car fixed. his insurance is probably through the roof, so his car will probably be this way for a while.

my point is, It's just not worth the risk. With all these horror stories people tell me, darn right I listen, Now I'm not 100% innocent I have raced before. but I do my best to have enough sense to just say no. It's really not worth all the crap that could happen, just like it's been said; "you can't control every factor on the road" so why risk it?

Re: How to disable the speed governer/limiter?

Alright everyone, please, no more street racing stories. If you have anything to add regarding your approval or disapproval to removing the limiter, or anything else related to the governor, feel free to post it. I dont want to have to lock this thread for spiralling too far off track.

Now 135 deaths is nothing to sneeze at, and I consider all of them tragedies. But, in order to get to the truth of the matter, we need to see how many total traffic fatalities there were in 2001. From information on the NHTSA's site, we find there were 41,979 total fatalities on U.S. roadways in 2001. Now, recall a little bit of middle school math, and that comes out to 0.3% of all traffic fatalities being related to street racing."
What is that new math? You failed in accounting the required factors. If there was 1350 street races in 2001 and we had 135 deaths that would make a 10% death rate from street racers. And if you had 42 million cars and 42 thousand deaths. This would be more of a comparsion.

Street racing kills innocent people of the 42 thousand road deaths how many were caused by speeders cutting off drivers. Break down all the deaths by catagories. You took one group of car accidents and compared them to all deaths.,

You are the reason why car makers need to install speed limiters.

Hope that I never get your car to work on becaus ethe first thing to go would be your butcher job on the car.

Re: How to disable the speed governer/limiter?

i appologize if i had offended anyone. ill leave this as my last post on this issue, and ill keep it non-offensive. originally i set out to agree with the point that speed limiters should not be removed, and for that i get called various names. if you believe this or not, i actually plan on being a traffic cop in about 3 months. oh yeah, i do feel better about myself with each win under my belt. you wanna race that skyline against my camaro ill do it but only on stakes, i win you fill my nos tank i doubt your skline can hold a candle to it. dont get me wrong, i love skylines, but in the realm of reality...

wtf is your point man? Listen according to source, 135 fatal crashes occured BECAUSE of street racing. That doesnt mean the person in the race died, it could very well be an innoncent bistander. They would be included in the total since their death would be a result of STREET RACING. In case you didnt see, .03% of ALL FATALITIES RELATED TO AUTOMOBILES WERE BECAUSE OF STREET RACING. Someone speeding alone down the street is not a street racer. If you think your can race yourself, your belong in the special olympics.

Re: How to disable the speed governer/limiter?

I'd like to see some newbie step up and attempt it. In all reality its somthing quite simple and can be done by your average joe. Or even is someone is good at the internet they could find it pretty quick. lol... i think my new motto should be " save a life(s) and bash a noob on VSS modification"

Re: How to disable the speed governer/limiter?

this is dumb anways, ill bet not more than 2 people know how to do it on here anways. It was funny to see all the people who claimed to know how to do it when i posted the wrong way to do it earlier. I mean people thought it was real, i said the speedometer would stick at 88MPH, the same speed needed for time travel. Anyone here see back to the future? All you need now is a flux capacitator.
