Re: i need sooo much help!
Not enough power. What kind of track were you at. If it was a drag strip you shouldn't have made it out of 3rd. When my gs was NA I could hit about 115-120 pretty easy but that was in 4th gear. When I shifted to 5th it didn't have enough power to go faster. I did hit 135 once but it did take a while to get there.

Re: i need sooo much help!
This thread is the suck.
1. Your racing an RS. 2. Why are you trying to go above 100 mph on a country road in the first place. 3. Your racing an RS. 4. The governor did not kick in. The only governor the N/A has is the lack of power. 5. Your racing an RS. 6. You did not define any specific problem, just a general "why won't it go faster" is not a problem. 7. Stop racing your RS.

Re: i need sooo much help!
The governors in the n/t doesn't hit until about 130. I hit it in my auto RS once, but it took forrrrrrrrever to get there. I don't know what you're problem is though, your car should easily go faster than that.

Re: i need sooo much help!
I dont think the NA models had governors on them. Maybe the autos do? I know my car has never hit any kinda of speed limiter

Re: i need sooo much help!
135, that was when it was still NT. It took a while and it was a little downhill but it never cut back.

Re: i need sooo much help!
When I had my RS I topped it out at about 120 in 5th but it took FOOOORRREEEVVERRR to get there....how much time are you really giving it to speed up...cause it almost feels like its not accelerating anymore because it takes so long....at least that is how it felt to me...
I would also discourage racing in that car like that on a road like that....but it is your choice man....if its that enjoying go for it....but be careful that is not the best handling car....
