    The conditions were perfect, I got the ok from an unmentionable LEO and attempted to join the 175+ club, but the governor kicked in and bogged me down. What's a brother to do?

    You need to get yourself the Predator to go faster than that.

    Too bad the OP wasn't from CA. I'll bet the Governator wouldn't have stopped him.

    - Downshift into 3rd, whip into the other lane, rip the clutch, hammer the throttle and whip right past him.
    :grin:

    - Maybe your governor is gay but never told you.

    What governor are you talking about...do you mean your revs were maxed out? I am pretty sure we don't have any speed governor on our cars, the only think stopping you is aerodynamics, conditions and RPM's, I have heard of stock SRT8's going a bit over 175, but it takes ALOT of road lol

    You should have made it to about 173 (I think you need more than 5 miles). We don't have speed govenors (there's some controversy about that). Maybe they've de-tuned the new ones? With the Predator you should have a better tune so you can go faster. Head wind? Bad gas?
