Err... And where did you read about this?
The speed of light itself is a problem - faster then that is even greater problem. The thing is that the top possible speed would have to be the speed of pure energy - without mass (light is supposed to be that, but it actually has some mass - therefore the speed of light really isn't ultimate speed, but to go faster you'd need pure enrgy - without mass). The real problem is, that in order for something to exist in our universe (to have energy) it also needs mass (even if just one third of the smalles imaginable mass). So there's nothing in our universe that could reach the ultimate speed - it would simple have no mass - thus it wouldn't exist. Those are the limitations of our universe. If something would reach the ultimate speed it would leave our time-space continuum, just like if something would be pure mass without energy (absolute zero).
That's the two limits to our space (can't have pure mass and can't have pure energy).

you can go faster than the speed of light in a car if those scientists slow it down to 38mph first like they did
