What's your top speed... with the governor ?
I hit 101 going up hill. Surprisingly, going downhill, The governor interferes more, and I couldn't break 100.

It's an interesting fuel curve gradual cutoff. It's not abrupt, it just seems to limit the fuel, but the engine still revs decently.

This is on a 2014.

It's interesting. Between the GPS, and the digital speedo, you can pretty much know your actual speed. And what's even more interesting, the speed limiter is not a set speed. It will keep on pulling, albeit very slowly. Until it won't pull any more. And it changes on condition, such as terrain, RPM, tow mode, etc.

It's 100% stable at speed. 20" tires, no problem. If you road force balance your tires, it makes a difference.
Also, it helps I have 20,000 miles on track experience.

Must be 'Merican Force. I was going to make the same statement but knew someone else would chime in.

That is more merican than merican force, I think they just go to 16" wide.
