speed ratings aren't quite that....reliable. If you have tires that are rated to 112mph, doesn't mean that at 113mph they explode.

They are recommended to not exceed 112mph for *extended periods*, but are more than capable of exceeding 112mph. Much different language there.

As for the limiter. Disabling the VSS would definitely work, but it'll throw a code, of course, and might cause the tranny to go into limp mode. They sell VSS data modifiers that are pretty cheap that will take the VSS signal and modify it by a percentage....ie, you could reduce the signal feed by 10% and this would fool the computer into thinking the car was going 10% slower than it actually was....this of course, would also cause the speedo to be 10% off.
