is it a Corolla "S"? That might explain it.When I take the Corolla people always try to race me. When I take the Volvo nobody tries to race me. I wish I had a car that looked like the Corolla but had 300 HP and AWD like the Volvo.

did you buy an s60r?
I really want one as a project, but after three horrible Audi's I'm super concerned about the cost:fun ratio.
Yeah 155 is what the dealer told me. I guess i assumed they just limited the NA cars and left euro units alone. It IS weird though because even with a grain of salt what I can find on message boards a lot of these cars are stable at higher speeds (post-engine tuning). I also assumed Porsche's were governed over here. Was looking at a few used 997s before I bought the Audi but couldn't find the right combo of service records, price, and mileage i wanted for the price in a 4s. 911 has been my dream car since childhood.
They might limit, I'm just pretty sure they don't because they're not governed in Europe (including the four LHD countries which have no road connection to Germany). I know what Audi/Mercedes/BMW is because it's a bit of a sore spot among some but I've honestly never really thought about it. The governor can be a liability issue, for the most part these cars aren't thoroughly tested at very high speeds (really anything above 200 kph) so if something does go wrong, they don't want to be blamed for it.
To be honest, I don't think you're ever going to find a "perfect" 911 (price, clean, desirable). You'll find one that has low k's and is very clean, but it's maroon and it's got a (non-PDK) automatic. I've tried and it's very slim pickings. Especially the high end ones like GT3's and Turbo's. I'd rather a Cayman, which you occasionally find a goldilocks one. I'm also not a big fan of lower end 911s, for example I drove a 997 Targa 4S and I liked my Cayman a lot better. I'm also super weary about buying used cars that were over $100,000 new. I've done that before and it's easily my worst financial decision I've ever made, and probably will be. If I was going to do it again, it would be something a little more exotic like an R8. Not any better performance than a 911, but it's something you see a lot less. I've seen clean, desirable 2008-2010 R8s for less than $80k CND.
S special edition. The only thing that makes it "special" over and above the regular S, unfortunately, is the bigger wheels and orange paint. Otherwise it's got the same crappy underpowered engine and sluggish 4-speed auto. But it's fine for milk runs and such.
Cayman's and R8s were right out of my considerations because i need at least the pretense of back seats (room for car seats) for my kids. Found that Turbos and above were well out of what I was willing to pay in my mileage range, and it'd be a daily--i figure what's the point in having a nice car if you're not going to drive it all the time--so an AWD would be necessary. Even then I'd have had to plan my commute around which routes were plowed the best in winter. And my wife would have probably killed me. And i drive aggressively--honestly i'd be driving a ticket magnet. Points there for the relative anonymity provided by driving a sedan.
I figured it had to liability issue in some strain or another. I think i read on Jalopnik the Dodge Hellcat has a governed lower speed than whatever the ridiculous powered durango they have only because the tires it ships with (better for 0-60) aren't rated to go any faster than the limiter allows.
yeah some kids want to race anything that has a performance badge, whether it's legit or not.

The numbers are literally too high to believe.
And I don’t know how Tesla plans to build a high end luxury 4 door, an entry level luxury 4 door, a semi-truck, and a hypercar all in the one factory that is so unproductive that it’s got more manual labour than a 1970s GM factory.
holy god that is...science fictionish. Do you actually get that range if you drive it in supercar mode? I sort of hope this is legit--if they can pull off something that crazy it's only going to spur every other manufacturer out there to pump money into their electric car programs and that tech SHOULD become more prevalent and easier accessed. And it's a 2+2 AWD?! Starting to save my pennys.
so if a self driving car plows over a guy in a bike lane that drifts over (to avoid a puddle or pothole or whatever) who get's sued?
Soooo...anyone else have problems with their comfort access when it's cold and wet out? no problem using the buttons. just thinks i'm trying to lock it all the time when i reach for the handle to open the door.
this is common right?

Only for others, or after I’m too old to drive and I’ve lost my license.I'm ready for self-driving cars.
