now you're getting into aero vs. power. at stock form on everything else no governer and 4.10 gears compared to stock what 3.55? (please tell me if that number is right cause I'm actually curious and too lazy to search) you probably would get the extra 5mph out of the 4.10's because of aero limited top speed.. but then again if you had all the mods necessary for the power to overcome aero drag the 4.10 would be limiting top speed by gear and RPM where the 3.55 would still have about 1200 RPMS to go and that would probably be 20-40mph. Again that is if power vs. aero is not a concern and you have the power to make it to redline.

Cant remember where I read this, but it was in one of the trade rags. They said the GT does not have a top speed governor, but they said top speed is governed by aerodynamics. I think they pegged the top speed somewhere around 145-150 MPH.

There is both a speed limiter and rev limniter programed into the oin board (PCM) computer. But, being a "fly by wire" system, this can be overcome with a flash tuner such as the DiabloSport Predator...

Anybody know if I flash my puter, can I set it back to factory, for when I take it in for service, or warranty work ??
