governor on 2002 gts???

[spyder_97tgs]

my buddy has a 2002 gts, he was challenged to a race going on the interstate and accepted it. he took off smoking the guy who challended him, then at 100 mph the car stopped accellorating in 6th gear. when he hit 100 it felt as if a governor kicked in, does anyone know if these cars do have a governor, and if so, where are the located so i can take it out for him. or maybe someone can point me in the direction of a website that tells me how to take it out for him. its such a waste to have such a beautiful piece of machinery only go 100 mph. and no im not a celica owner, but im seriously thinking about selling my eclipse and getting one.

i own a 2002 gts and there is no governor i have had mine up to 140 mph there is a rev limiter at 7800 but no governor and i live in canada where most cars do have governors

hmm..... i donno it is tough to say i would sugest he take it to a dealer and flub story a bit and tell them what happened and see what they say it should still have lotsa warranty so that might be the easiest route

sorry i can't help any further then that...

try going over 100mph in a lower gear it might be the 6th gear. are you sure its the gov? when they kick in it feels like your engine is being shut off but then turned right back on. just make sure to do all this not near any cops
