1. A system of Radio-Frequency (RF) speed control for a high-performance vehicle comprising:
one of a wireless receiver and receiver-transceiver integrated into one of a powertrain electrical system, Electronic Control Unit (ECU), Motor Control Unit (MCU), and vehicle speed sensors of the high-performance vehicle;
a speed command control device integrated into the at least one of the wireless receiver and receiver-transceiver to be automatically activated by a driver of the high-performance vehicle driving the high-performance vehicle at a predetermined first vehicle speed to turn ON the one of the wireless receiver and receiver-transceiver and to be automatically deactivated by the driver driving the high-performance vehicle below the predetermined first vehicle speed to turn OFF the one of the wireless receiver and receiver-transceiver; and
one of a transmitter and transmitter-transceiver operable by law enforcement to transmit RF messaging packets to the one of the wireless receiver and receiver-transceiver when the speed command control device is activated to reduce a vehicle speed of the high-performance vehicle to a predetermined second vehicle speed being lower than the predetermined first vehicle speed until the speed command control device is cleared by the high-performance vehicle being driven a predetermined number of miles and receiving a predetermined number of ignition ON/OFF cycles or being serviced at a vehicle dealer.
