I searched and read all the threads that were old and couldnt find it. I did a road test hehe a,d it stops at 110. I was pretty disappointed because my old old car a 2002 kia spectra stopped at 118 and thats the 4banger with 150hp. I want this dumb chip off my tires can handle 130mph 110 is cake. HELPPP PLEASE

first off, you do not need to go faster then what the road is rated for, hence why you found nothing on how to remove the Governor, it's there for a reason, unless you have a track star, and need to go faster, there is no reason to remove that limiter

02-25-2010, 06:42 PM
there is no reason for you to go that fast on a highway, you can remove it via HPtuners, until then......grow up and keep it on the track......
If you don't know how to remove it, chances are you don't need to have it removed.

you didn't search very well, or read all the threads, there is atleast half a dozen different threads with people asking this, and a dozen threads with the answer.
mostly, it doesn't need to really happen. and when you actually need to remove the governor, you'll already know how to do it.

Lol, I just think about what would happen if I lose a tie rod or a tire at 100+ and don't really want to go fast anymore... only topped out the Alero once when I was like.. 16... Haven't even hit 90 in the Buick or Aurora since then, the novelty wears off.
Getting to 60 really fast is more fun than just goin fast anyways.

new driver, im not a new driver i know how to drive and race on drag, and once and a while ill open it up on the highway when its open and clear. i was racing my ta ws6 for 4 years at quaker drag. and i opened that up to 150 on the highway when it was clear. not bsing or trying to be a prick here

02-25-2010, 10:41 PM
irregardless...the only time to ever go faster is at the track and struts and brakes aren't going to get you a 10 second car. Just be responsible and keep it the speed limit, or at least relatively close to it. I don't want to see another alero go to waste because of idiocy.

are you so ignorant that you are unaware that some situations can not be saved? hydroplaning with all four wheels = no saving possible. Don't try to come after me just because i shot you down for being a stupid teenager. You should be thanking me for attempting to save your life.

02-25-2010, 11:30 PM
yeah well at 110 I highly doubt you will be as lucky, I'm not trying to be a prick just use some common sense and don't kill yourself, or anyone else for that matter. If you want to blow your money on HPTuners fine, If you want to blow your engine the fuck up fine, if you want to go 110+ and have the appropriate mods fine, but DO NOT do this on public roads or else there will be very bad consequences in the end. I suggest you learn more about the car before you go and try something stupid like that. Learn to like the car and you won't need to go that fast in order to enjoy it. Just some words of advice because trust me, you WILL miss it when it is gone.
I'm glad I'm not from Ohio because this kid is making you Ohioians(?) look like douche bags. :D

regardless, doing anything over 100 on a highway is excessive and would be highly illegal, you are lucky when you were doing 106 you didn't get your car impounded.....anyways the rules read......
Aleromod.com does not condone or encourage street racing. Illegal street races are dangerous to yourselves and all the innocent bystanders you come in contact with. We have seen that posting street race stories leads to unnecessary debating and flame wars.
and i consider high speed runs a street race so no more.....or infractions will be handed out...
[ion] C2
02-26-2010, 12:32 AM
Wow this guy's a dumbass.
I didn't feel like reading the whole deal but the spark ramp out is actually at 106. My tires can handle 186+ MPH, but that doesn't mean the axles or anything else in the rotating assembly can. There is a lot of force being applied trying to pull the rotating components apart, and unless they can take it, expect a catastrophic failure. I've gone to 130 MPH for a sec once during tuning just for the hell of it, but slowed down quickly primarily because I'd rather not hit a pothole, have a blowout, or have a tie rod end come loose at that speed.
im almost 20 and i sold my ws6 because i started at kent state and driving a 6spd on the highway in winter would be bad especially a rearwheel drive that is pushing 350hp.
Oh shit 350HP. Learn to drive if you can't handle a little snow in your MONSTEROUSLY powerful Trans Am.
and the only ticket i EVER got was when i was 16 and it was a 106 in a 70 in West Virginia
Lack of tickets does NOT indicate that you're a good driver. It just means you're lucky. I haven't gotten any tickets and I've done some things that could've landed me some big fines or caused some serious damage.
yes but a driver should know how to control in a emergency, yes that sucks but i hydroplaned before and i got out of it thats what they teach you in DRIVERS ED you should try it
Yeah you're the best driver that's ever lived. Driver's Ed sure prepared you for anything and everything you'll ever see on the road. You must've done a significant amount of hours of training in handling various terrains and conditions at varying speeds and turn angles. Let me throw some ice down in front of you as you're going 70 MPH and someone cuts you off and see you "control" that emergency.

02-26-2010, 12:36 AM
first time seeing the thread, but when a cop is calls ahead to clear the road and is with you, it is legal. I don't know why you guys are flaming this newb so much, we have all done it at one point in time. If you go that fast with other cars around and when its illegal, yes its very stupid then and then he deserves all this. But when its legal and a clear road, go for it. There are risk factors in everything you do, don't call him stupid for him posing no danger to anybody else only himself.
BUT, for the times you went that fast without the road being cleared, your are a complete tool. 150 on a populated road? thats just asking to kill someone. I also love speed, and set my cruise sometimes at 15 over, but even that i agree is stupid to a degree. When i first got my license at 14 i toped out every car i drove, till i realized how stupid and careless i was being and slowed the fuck down.
and the hydroplaning, yea sure you can regain control lots of times if it doesn't get to far out. But sometimes it does get to far out and there is nothing you can do about it at that poin you are just along for the ride. So quit being a dumbass and saying you can always recover, your aren't God. its like ice, it has a mind of its own.
regardless, doing anything over 100 on a highway is excessive and would be highly illegal, you are lucky when you were doing 106 you didn't get your car impounded
yep, at that speed your are supposed to hand over your license, and get charged with attempted suicide, attempted manslaughter, and wreckless driving.

Yes everyone i mean EVERYONE and dont say you didnt when u get a new car you want to see what it can do you want to see its 0-60 0-100, that doesnt mean get on 77 south and floor it and see how fast you can get to south carolina. when i got to 108-110 i slowed down because even if my tires are rated at 130+ my car isnt a nascar and cant handle being at that speed long and the way gas is i cant afford it. so all you flames jumping on my cas if you would of took the time to sit the f down and talk instead of jumping on my case you would of heard the story, now im going to bed peace

Yes please close this thread because after 3 effing pages you'd think he'd get it. If you have a cop with you and you mess up he'll die. Good job your on a open road but you still have someone with you. You think bambi is your only problem? Friend of mine was driving normal on highway and guy jumped out in front of her so he could kill himself. When you get in your car are you thinking of what to do in that situation cause she sure as hell never expected that. By the way hptuners isn't the only way to remove your limiter but I'm not the one who will tell you. But might as well search for it and while your searching look up this
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4TSHB_enUS327US332&q=teenager+kills+in+highspeed+
The third link involves a Grand Am, among your search quest you'll learn it's basically the same car as an Alero. Also your mad because everyone is seemingly being a d*ck about this. I just want you to know I am making sure I'm being a d*ck about this so we have that cleared up. No matter how many cops are watching or how empty the road seems to be something unexpected can happen. Though hopefully something will get to your head about this or you can do it legally and safely at a track or closed off road meant for this type of thing. Then we can all be friends again and help you with your modding and other Alero needs.

1. Kyle, please get with the other mods/admins and discuss the idea changing the wording in the "rules" to include specifically discussion of exceeding the speed limit on a public road. That implies that we condone breaking the law.
2. Cops "calling the road clear" for you for something other than an emergency tells me that they are abusing their position of authority and they should also be chastised for doing the wrong thing and letting you do it.
3. Drop this stupid shit once and for all, and somebody please lock this thread??

do yourself a favor, since you like speed. Take a class on basic physics. Hitting bambie at that speed... would destroy the car, and your face... probably upper body too.
sympathy is in the dictionary between "oh shit, a highspeed blowout" and "tell the family we need them to identify the body"

Dear beloved alermod member,
Does anyone here actually believe that an Ohio State Trooper would jeopardize his job and clear a State Highway just so some punk assed, half wit 19 year old maggot in a subcompact midsized 2 door daily driver can test his cars top speed? If you do, please follow this 5 step handy guide to enlightenment.
1. Go to local hardware store buy 3 feet of 3/8" thick nylon rope.
2. Locate a sturdy fixed horizontally mounted support at least 10 feet of the ground.
3. Stand on chair to elevate you high enough to access the support.
4. Tie one end of rope around support, the other end around your neck using a knot as demonstrated below in attachment A.
5. Kick chair on its side thus suspending you off the ground.
http://www.hauntproject.com/images/noose.jpg
Also if you believe this guy has ever sat in the drivers seat of any F-body please refer to the enlightenment guide. Thank You!
Sincerely,
Rob (From Ohio)
PS I am sure this guy just resides in Ohio, he's probably originally from Kentucky,Virginia or West Virginia.
