yea, there are ways of disabling it. my friend has a chip re-programmer that can remap areas of the chip to improve upon it, same thing as every other chip progrmamer out there does. its fun reverse engineering the performance chips that are out there and seeing what exactly they changed.

trick is finding where in the hex code the speed and rev limiter are stored. what kind of car is it?
