Anyways, this is how it could work. You'll need an arduino or other programmable microcontroller to read the vehicle speed sensor, and intercept the gas pedal position sensor. Allow a direct pass through signal for the pedal position sensor for everything until speed exceeds X, then start modifying the output signal of the gas pedal position sensor to limit max speed.
Sounds tough but I like the idea. The same device could also limit max power.
