let me clear something up for everyone... the 118 mph speed limiter on the LS is because of the tires... the P-Zeros on the SS model are capable of higher sustained speed than 155mph... the reason the SS is limited from the factory to 155mph is because the VSS are rated for 155mph accuracy... so, basically, the car could go faster than that, but the VSS wouldn't be able to keep up... this would cause stability management to kick in and slow you down.

the electronic speed limiter is easily bumped up with a computer reflash... as always, this is NOT RECOMMENDED unless you modify the car to handle the higher speeds (e.g.: better tires, suspension upgrades, safety upgrades, driving skills upgrade)
