    Default Hello!

    My names Shawn. I am the worlds fastest Indian (India) drive. I also don't own a Camry.

    I own a Whistler Pro-78 SE which has been awesome. Working on getting Veil paint.

    Drive a Mazda 6.

    This form has looked really helpful! I hope, and have so far learned a lot.

    No sir, not in KS at least...man I just got a regular 6 with a modded engine, uprated brakes and sport suspension, but my record in the regular 6 is 135...and it coulda gone faster too. Im suprised, I didn't even think the US limited cars...

    Where is KS?

    There's no government mandate for a governor, but they're not uncommon. I think they're usually set based on the speed rating of the tires, but the stock tires on mine are V rated for chrissakes.

    I figured it was Kansas, except you asked about the US governing cars. The stock tires are already worn out and gone, but they were V rated which is I think 149 MPH, so the 120 governor is absurd. Although I have snow tires on now that are only good for 106...

    Please say that again, except this time make sense.

    Here's what I got from that.

    The stock tires originally gave you 149 mph, but somewhere its governed for 120 and now you only have snow tires for 106?

    Dude you shouldnt be going 106 in the snow anyways

    Alright, first of all I was complaining that the governor was set for 120 when it's obvious the car has the power to go faster and the tires were rated to handle it.

    But it's irrelevant right now because I have snow tires that are only rated for 106, so I can't go faster than that in any condition for prolonged periods without risking them failing. I don't go 106 in the snow.
