If you don't have the RS package (from your sig pic I don't believe you do) it should still be set at 118, with the RS package or the optional tire packages you should be set at 155. The tire speed rating is what the computer speed limiter is set at.

Sources I've seen around the net have it at around 142mph. Of course if your vehicle came from factory with 18" rims , the speed limiter is set at 118 mph.

edit: Angrybird 12 beat me to it.

It's exactly what Angrybird says it is.

Thats is correct I don't have the RS package. Is there an easy way to disable the limiter?

Unless you are going to run on a racetrack or take it to Germany, 118 should be fine for street driving.

even 118 is too much for most roads. definitely enough to get you taken off in handcuffs too.

No one really knows how fast these cars go. A few tried, but we never heard from those folks again.
