The govener is a built in computer programm in the cars CPU that tells the EFI or Carburator to close on a car and stop pumping gas. When the govener kicks in you'll know it, the car will lunge or pop and then slow down. You can push the accelerator pedal all you want but it won't do anything until it is below governed speed by like 5 or 10 mph. The only way around the govener is to completely remap and rebuild your CPU. That is what I've been told.
The govener is set at the factory and wiill be different for most cars.
Grand ams are goverened at 115 mph.
Neons are goverened at 119 mph.
Focuses are goverened at 107 mph, atleast the 2000 I rented.
Chevy Malibu's are governed at 112 mph or so, hard to get deffineted cause of the speraticness of the needle in the one I rented.
Eclipse's (Gen 1's) aren't goverened, never once hit the govener and had the car to 140 mph. Took less time then the Lancer, thats for sure.
I have not hit the govener on my Lancer either. Ive had the needle at 130 mph. It still looks like it has room to move too.
