Default Speed Limiter?

Supposedly the speed limiter stops you at 115, does anybody know how high it will go with the limiter removed?
Thanks In Advance

depends on how long/straight the road is...

also depends if you have an auto or manual... (an auto should theoretically go faster, it has lower gears)

I'd guess somewhere between 140 and 150 before you either run out of gear or drag takes it's toll and slows you down.

Thanks, what do you mean run out of gear? Is it something bad or just topping completely out?

the car is limited electronically from the factory. You have a rev limiter and a speed limiter. A tuner can shut them both off or adjust them to your liking LOL.

As far as top speed goes. I don't have a clue what your limiter is set at LOL but I do know that you will run out of power long before you run out of gear (almost all cars with factory gears will). Probably around 130-140ish, I would guess before drag overcomes power.
