ok so i was talking to my friend and he said that by modding a cars governators/ whatever will not just only no longer limit the top speed but would also change how fast your car got there. is it true?

 

Yes, putting Arnold Schwarzenegger in your car will make it go faster.

 

Well, why don't you think about it for a second, think about what the governor is and how it's implemented, then tell us whether you think it's true or not.

 

Did you get the V6 rx8? or the 2.2litre?

 

^ ha ha ha excellent lol

 

I got the one with 35 mpg!

 

This is one of the best answers I've seen.

 

It's not a tumuh!

 

wow,
y r back. this is the most stupidist ? you have asked..

beers

 

.....? not really i don' t know where you got that. i'm tlakign about the limit our car is put at speed wise i believe it's at 143mph. i was talking to my friend who said his car had been reprogramed and it could get to higher speeds faster just by modding the chip ( whatever it's called) in the car to make it achieve higher speeds faster. i said he was full of it. i was just checking on here to see if there was any truth behind his statement

but if your not gonna answer my question, then whatever

 

He's talking about modding the ECU, which is not the "speed governor." RX8's don't have a speed governor. They can go as fast as 6th gear will rev, which I believe is somewhere in the 180mph neighborhood. The problem is that aerodynamic drag makes them run out of steam around 150. There are guys that have done dyno pulls to well over that though.

 

These threads always start with "my friend said" or some such nonsense. What is it with people and friends, ugh....

 

hahahaha... jealous?

 

ok i was just checking i didn't believe him either. no reason to flame me

 

^ Well, the thread title and you're post seem like enough reason to flame you a little. C'mon, just admit it.

Now that you've got your answer, I will say I am thoroughly disappointed in this thread. I was so sure this was going to be either a parody thread about Da Governator, or a political rambling of some sort.

 

You like Fender Amps or Freddy Fender?

 

amps

 

Thats cool - nice amps
