I'd have too many laughs with that little *** car revving to 14k like nothing and blowing the doors off of 97% of the cars on the average road.

04 4AT born 11/03 here. I do know that the 04 JDM 8's have the limiter... but this is the first I've heard about US models having it. I wouldn't mind hearing/reading Cobb's take on it...

But then I can count the times on one hand that I've had enough road, and piece of mind, to push these speeds. My 1990 Plymouth Laser topped out 109 and with its turbo had about 40 more hp than my little AT renesis. Even though I'm happy I can go past 125, just getting there is plenty for this old fool.

well when I talked to PTP today, they said they "think" that Cobbs will automatically remove the speed limiter.

Mazdamaniac will contact Cobb, but We believe that it could be in the TCM (Transmission Control Module) . Which in that case there is no way of over riding it.

JDM and Eurospec have a 4port 5 speed MT that you can remove the limiter from.

The last time I tried it was with the DSC and TC on in my TI. But the WWP I had did not have DSC. It had TC. But it wouldn't go above 125 either. Both 05's.

My 09 dies at 125... What is the point of speed limiting an AT but not an MT? Really doesn't make any sense.

Adding insult to the whole thing is my buddies TL is limited to 155

All AT models have a speed limiter.
The 2006 - 2008 is limited to 124 MPH in all gears except 1st, which is limited to 112 (which I doubt it can hit in 1st without hitting the rev limiter).

The AccessPORT can fix that, BTW.
