why the s*** do you need to go faster than 118mph?
exactly? and it takes you like what 8 miles to get that fast?
Or just get a GT-R.
really?????
I've taken mine to 145. It's supposed to be governed at 155, but people say they can get to 162 before the ecu cuts power.
GT-R is limited to 110mph by GPS fyi

Well, I was trying to be funny, but wow that sucks!
My girlfriend and I tried to find the limiter on her Yaris.
:: sigh ::
The acceleration was so awful we ran out of road before we could get it over 105!! You think the 2.0 or 2.3 mazda 3 is bad, the Yaris is 1.3
of course, even beating on it she gets at least 42 miles a gallon. I'd rather get 20 and go fast!
EDIT: about the GT-R, I heard if you take it to a track, they can turn off the limiter by remote, but then you have a certain number of days to take it in for maintenance ($3000 my friend says) or they void your warranty. Oh yeah, and the 110 turns back on when it sees you get to the parking lot. ugh, ghey

been to 155 a few times and the my car shuts down till about 80 and picks back up..So i would have to say the MS3 is gov.
Hardly. I have no problems getting to 118 M.P.H. in my 2.3L sedan on the expressway. I, too, would love to find a way to get rid of the stupid thing. A good, mature driver should be able to decide for him- or herself how fast to drive in any situation. I don't like my car telling me how fast it's going to cut out. Years ago I was very fortunate to have a faster car than an idiot drunk driver on a dark Florida expressway (before cell phones were common). I dusted the fool off after he decided to chase us because we finally managed to get past the idiot swerving all over the expressway, and my then wife-to-be got off the expressway and called 911 from a pay phone.
It used to be that these speed limiters were done for tire speed rating, but my Mazda3 came with better than T rated tires from the factory, which are 118 M.P.H. tires. I plan to get the Tri-Point Engineering turbo kit, and I am on a quest to get rid of that silly limiter. It's there to make Mazda lawyers happy so stupid ricer kids don't kill themselves and others. I don't need it. I'm 39 years old, and have never caused an accident or crashed any of my cars in 22 years of driving. I've also been to the Mid-Ohio 2-day High Performance and Advanced High Performance racing school. I'm a libertarian at heart--I can make my own decisions, and don't need Big Brother looking out for me.
