That is one advantage you have with the DX (or was it CX?) drivetrain in your car....you don't have a speed limiter built the code of the ECU.

The VX P07 ECU is governed to 116mph, not that it's a bad thing, but I guess Honda didn't want me going faster than that. It'll really only matter if I road race at BIR, but I doubt I'll use my VX on that course, lol.
