It seems like different cars have different speed limiter values based on the equipment they came with - someone on this thread earlier said they hit their limiter at 118 MPH but our test car would go to at least 150 MPH on the dyno (we didn't hit the limiter at all)...

If it was an RS v6, it's limited, like the SS cars, to 155mph. My car has seen the limiter on the dyno.
