    What speed were you going? Yes, you can remove the governor, there are some systems around to do it. Basically you need to reduce the speed sensor signal to the ECU.

    You'll know if you hit the governor though because your engine will shut right down. More likely you just were beaten. The XRS is faster than the tC, especially in the higher speed ranges.

    ahaha...!! i guess so i thought govenor does something like make your engine lag so you cant go any faster...but getting beaten by a stripped out xrs matrix and running 100 octane with exhaust and intake isnt that bad...(my car is fully stock)
