        I do not understand how those limiters work, but if It works on limiting power and torque, then You may have some difficulty getting up a very steep hill like one found in the rockies.

        My ego is perfectly capable of surviving being wrong.

          They cut out fuel when you reach max speed. They don’t limit power or acceleration below top speed. They only limit top speed. They of course don’t shut down the engine. Just make it stop accelerating. Probably has more to do with fuel mixture, not literally cutting whole fuel off.

            Good to know. Still don’t like it. Another step in taking away freedom of individuals and mentally neutering an entire population.

              Yeah, sure, society will collapse if you can’t endanger others by driving 160 mph in a 70 zone. Total serfdom.
