yup i'm sure that i was on 3rd gear, cause right when i started to turn to merge on the highway.. the turbo boosted up and on third gear, when i barely signaled into the highway, i was going 125 already, on 3rd gear. i'm sure of this.(and its manual)

First off -- the GST is speed limited cause of its tires -- I don't remember what the limiter is but its pretty close to 120 ish -- you must be driving the only GST which can do 125 in 3rd.... 100 maybe -- but those would be some really tall gears --- and you would never have to leave 3rd gear -- your rpms at 60 would be like 2k or something...
Take the car out again...if it works again -- well buy it.

is it possible to take the governor off? (just curious, dont' actually own a GST and in all likelyhood, would never drive past 115 anyways. Anything past 100 is ridiculously fast/dangerous)
