I am very disappointed at the 155 MPH limiter.

Its not that I will be able to run faster than 155, but the fact that the car is limited. I always laughed at all the BMW's, Mercedes that were limited to 155 because my 1998 Z28 could technically go faster.

If the 1998 Z28's could go 162 with the stock Z tires, why can't this car go faster with Z tires? (Oh, wait it weighs more than the older cars)...

I feel like GM gave in to regulatory pressures rather than build a car that was built to perform!
