Re: speed limiter (was Notchy Shifter)

Um, not to put too fine a point on it, but, Bullshit, sir.

My modded GLX/5 spd tops just over 150 (no, I have no photos. I've more
important things to do at that speed) and that's lowered, and G-chipped.
There's absolutely *no* way that your stock, automatic GLX has, or will hit
anything resembling that speed, or the 140 you say you lounge at each
morning, as your stock chip will limit speed at 129 +/- a couple . My friend
and partner-in-crime has a GTI-VR6 that would eat my GLX alive, and he won't
do 160 either. The aerodynamics of our brickmobiles simply will not support
that kind of speed, even if the engine would.

If you're seriously trying to get us to believe your statement, you're
wasting our time.

If you're just goofing, ignore the above.
