Hmm... I don't know I've only had her up to 90 so far... not too comfortable yet taking turns on 696 much faster than that...

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the governor kicks in at 107-109mph on the new 3rd gen Dakotas.... my 2nd gen Sport Dak I had up to 117mph, and then a governor kicked in..... my 2nd Gen Motorsports edition also saw 115+mph in.....I never hit a governor in it, but I really didnt push it either...

Yeah, you can remove it if you reflash the ECU. I'm not sure if the jetchip changes it or not. Basically it is just programmed into the ECU and you just need to remove it or change it.

Oh, Night_Runner, I hope everything turned out ok for you.

It must be 109... cuz the needle looked like it was sitting on 110 and it cut out on me... I dont know if the jet changes it or not, its too slippery to push it fast.

Well, I'm glad you are going to be playing baseball instead of the other! It's better that you are tired as hell than to have to schedule in a funeral. Maybe I'm just an optimist though!
