Re: does the 06 eclipse have a govenor?

It will go as fast as the cars drag limit (aka. the speed at which the air friction restricts the car from moving any faster). But it will hold the drag limit speed all day and not shut down (unless you blow up!). To move the drag limit speed higher you must add power (turbo, supercharger, nitrous, rockets...anything). Let us know how fast she goes! My 2000 fed spec GT will go about 145-149 depending on the grade of the road.
