well, I got up to like 150 km per hour one time in my car,
and 140 in an old van we used to have... my van started
shaking and stuff at that point, so I decided to slow
down... :)

The reason your car slowed down was from the governor that's
installed on almost every vehicle. A Governor is a control
device that maintains a steady speed, or limits the speed of
an engine by controlling the supply of fuel. I have a '97
Pontiac Firebird, and my governor kicks in at 120 mph. But I
know it could go alot faster, at least 150 mph, if it wasn't
for the bullshit governor. There are ways of
removing/turning off the governor, but it's different for
different vehicles. And doing so could possibly fuck your
shit up, and is probably better just left alone.
