does that mean all it would take on the LS would be a set of speed rated tires and a reprogram of the computer speed limiter and it will be able to reach that speed??? WOW...

the 155 is electronically limited...

this screams Europe to me... since 155mph is their government mandated speed limit.

I think its simply because of the tires. Aren't Z-rated tires 155mph max?
