Can you imagine going over 120 in one of these beasts?

I severely dislike some of the "stacked" highway ramps they have built in Downtown Pittsburgh where three different interstates all merge and cross over, under, and thru the middle in a stack of curving uphill and downhill concrete ramps. You glance over for an istant and see your reflection in about the fifth or sixth story of a high rise that seems just a few feet away.

It freaks me out that you are doing 65+ mph changing lanes and merging way up in the air like that. It's almost like Space Mountain. And when there is a wreck, it gets nasty in a hurry.

There is no belief about it,it is the speed limiter for the DI, the top speed for the DI in the NAS market is 110mph.

It slows you down by killing spark to each of the cylinders, it can throw mis fire codes when it acts up because it is cutting spark even though you are not speeding.
