Do our cars have governer? Or anything in the ECU that tells the car to not preform as well as it should/could?

*Add more rev and you can go faster.
Its not that the 5s doesn't have enough power, its the fact that (like any other car) it has a rev limit, hit that and its game. The 3s will hit 135ish on the S54 before it redlines. If the gearing was longer, it could go a lot faster (like the auto that maxes out past 140mph). |
