Again, someone would have to check on the SS to be sure . The Z would probably have been VERY smooth w/ zero room to go faster. You know...


if you had gotten it up to 160mph, it would have just slowed to a stop at exactly what it thinks is 160mph according to the Vehicle Speed Sensor(s)... it would have felt like hitting an aerodynamic brick wall... and since your speedo is probably off by about 8-12% at that speed, it would have looked like you were going ALOT faster than 160mph on the speedo, which only goes to 155mph in our cars... but if your speed limiter were set to, lets say, 255mph, you'd have been able to watch your tach go up while your speedo was pegged out beyond its 155mph max.
