What is a good supercharger fo my 3.1 liter V6 engine?

I think this is a good question, car could be restricted to whatever country they are in as part of the MOT or something to stop people excessively speeding as there no need for a car to do 120 on british motorways. But on the other hand, i would hate a restriction, if i could only go up to 70 i would hate it, i want my freedom and don't want some government to stop me from using my car as it was made.

What in the world does engine breaking mean?

So that cap and glove wearing doddery old gits can moan about it and say "but you wont get there any quicker" as you zoom past on the inside lane at twice the speed they are doing in the middle lane, because they took there test in 1902 in a farm cart and have no concept of road regulations, Of course you will get there quicker! your going faster dammit! some of us have lives to get on with and better things to do other than block up roads while you try to remember what indicators are for!

Car Emissions Phone Number, Melbourne Australia?

Just to add to what's written already: if a car was only powerful enough for a top speed of 70mph, it would struggle on hills and have almost no acceleration at 60mph. If it was electronically limited by the manufacturer this could be overridden by "chipping" just as people do to PlayStations. People are allowed to drive cars at any speed off the public highway, so arguably you should be able to drive your 150mph car at 150mph on a private race track if you choose. Obviously you might end up with a fractured spine, but at least no-one else got hurt and it means another macho numpty is off the road!
