Why does a Ford Mustang have a speed governor?

Stock Ford Mustangs can go faster, but Ford installs a speed governor to limit how fast the Mustang can drive. The governor helps keep the vehicle, driver, passengers and public safe. Driving over the speed limit is illegal, so most drivers who remove the governor register the Mustang for legally sanctioned track races.

How do you take the governor out of a Mustang?

Turn off the radio, all lights and any other electronic equipment in the vehicle. Plug the programmer into the OBD outlet found on the dash underneath the steering column. Look at the screen on the programmer and, when prompted, turn the key to the “On” position in the ignition. Read and follow the prompts on the programmer.

Can you bypass fuel pump on Ford Mustang?

I think the ford system only prevents the fuel pump from turning on, so simple enough to bypass that in about 10 minutes, but whatever. The systems are everywhere so we get to deal with it. It makes things difficult if you’re doing a remote starter and can make things expensive if you lose one of your keys.
