You are correct. 18's from factory is 118. 19's and higher is 155.

I saw a yellow with black rally stripes LS on the dealers lot in Southern Illinois and it was ordered with the 21" tires and wheels. I was curious if the speed limiter would be set to 155 because the tires and wheels are dealer installed. I bet if the initial production line order shows the 21" tires and wheels the LS is probably given the higher limiter. Putting the 21" wheels and tires on the LS sure bumped the price up.

Have been to an indicated 150 in my 2LT. That is the fastest I have been in any car ever and I'm not sure I do that again. Did have a hill to cheat on but ran out of free room. However I do think this sucker will hit that govenator provided it has the space to get there. I will say the car felt solid and planted. It wasnt floaty.

Took this from another thread.
it's probably a "good" thing they are speed limited!
don't really have no need to go faster!..just sayin!

Guess you didn't learn your lesson from being run off the road by the "crazy old guy" and wrecking it the day after you got it, huh? I hope this time you weren't speeding on a gravel road.
