'99 Dodge stratus. 120MPH Yes I found the governor. It basically takes control of the gas (like you let off the pedal or something) until you get down to 85 again where you get control back.

I'm one for saving the equipment so I've only had my '99 GS-T up to 120 mph

I was headed south on I-79 in PA here and I noticed a Porsche 911 in my rear view coming up on me quick so I increased my speed to about 90 and then he pulled along side of me and we were doing 120 then he gunned it and I backed off and away he went.

Ya, my old Honda was a lot lighter, but my eclipse has a turbo in it and Isn't a 1.5 liter SOHC.
man, my honda car is a 86 accord DX, so no tech in it, and all carb! lol but my eclipse is more stable and much much much more faster.
