It is possible but would pointless! Someone would come up with a work around in no time at all. Best thing to do is educate the young one on the dangers of driving fast. You could even get him/her involved with legal racing at your local race track.

Yes, pretty much all cars all limited with a chip. Mostly due to the rating of the tires the vehicle came equipped with. Obviously the manufacturer wouldn't want you going 150 in a vehicle who's tires are speed rated for 120. This can be altered by inserting performance chips which will alter fuel and air flow mixtures. Talk to a certified techh before atempting!

Yes, even Formula One cars have what is called a "Rev Limiter" that is all done in the engine electronics. Putting this to work would only be a matter of the car companies making it possible for the programming of the engine to be customized by the factory service at the dealership.

Yes - it's called a speed inhibitor, no idea how it works but it does.
It's fitted as standard to heavy vehicles in the UK (limited to 60 mph).
