Why is the V6 automatic limited to 115mph? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Or I should say, wheels and tires to do burnouts at my pleasure. Since I'll be replacing the wheels (I want the 1LT wheels - that's when I'll get the new tires) I'll just swap the back wheels for a set of the stockers.

if you get the rs package the limiter is much higher bc the tires are different

Go look at the build site, on the home page Perfomance 01
hover over View Stats
118mph(18-inch tires)/155mph (19/20/21-inch tires)
**all models electronically limited**

Thanks! You are absolutely correct!

That was weird. I know I'll NEVER go 115mph, but I didn't like the fact that I was limited to that.

Thanks, guys. I saw it on the site now.

get higher-rated tires, then remove the governor. its not tht hard. ur car wont need it, cuz urs wont have one, or at least not tht low, but for ppl who do.

No OBD tuners will be out for the camaro, so how will we change the limiter?

they'll be out in a while, but if you need it now, get a custom tune

Vash · 03-26-2009, 09:41 PM

Someone will hack it. Of course they should have Z rated tires to go along with it.

Camaro92 · 04-02-2009, 10:17 PM

Yea this guy got mad at me once cause he has an S10 that he modded with a V8 and I told him not to go over 110 with his tires but he was shooting for like 150.

He had stupid little low rider whitewalls with mismatched rims (to get the wrong size look).

I was like "go ahead and kill yourself silly".
