I dont know what mine will do on its own. I was drafting behind the z and my front bumper was about a foot or so away from his back bumper.

i hit the governor at 126 mph on a long two mile bridge in temple, tx. i have since then added the cortex tuner and increased the speed limiter. still haven't had the chance to go back and see what it can do now.

i did this in my stock ss about 3 months after i got it, i have that little dash computer system that came with the car and i hit 126, i may not have hit the limiter so you are probably right about the setting. but i did run out of straight road, so had to lift off. I will actually be going down the same bridge this weekend. i now have the superchips cortex tuner on it, with the speed limiter lifted to the "superchips level" as they call it. my brother just bought a new mini digital recorder and he's going with me. I will film what i hit and post it, haven't seen any posts with that yet. should be fun.

I understand switching to "I" will kill the limiter in an auto? Not for sure on that but would like to try to find a place to do that

I have an auto and had no problem breaking 130... my goal was to max it out but I ran out of room.
