Lots of the cars from the major rental car fleets are governed to just over 80 mph. I assume it's with a simple ecm flash that put back to stock when resold. Now there have always been ways around such things. One trick that used to work on Chrysler products was to hold the key to "start" while driving and it seemed to forget it had a limiter. Almost all cars have some limiter from the factory, it's just a matter of program where it is set.
