My name is Craig, I have no real problem with my car, my speedomitor maxes at 120 mphr and my car does just that with no problem. Is there anyway to max my cars horse power and change out the speedomitor so that my cars engine can almost max out speed wise I mean?

No, it's a matter of computer programming. The operating system was programmed to work that way and the manufacturer is the only one with the ability to change it. I'm sure aftermarket companies will make download chips for it later on after it's off warranty.
