Thats because all SSs have Z rated tires. Cars that came with Z rated tires have a speed limiter set at 163mph.

That's right any programmer can delete the limiter.

as far as driving 160mph on busy public roads, yes that is stupid. but i took mine from coast to coast, and in montana (daytime) and arizona still have/had roads with no speed limits. other places too like outside of las vegas. so legally going full speed on a straight road with noone is sight----quite a thrill. but agreed its not for the metro areas.
Im not trying to argue with you...are there any places around or in Texas where theres no speed limit? I wanna go to one!

I was thinking the same thing. 250 mph would be insane. I got freaked out at 135, I can't even fatham 250. And if his car can go 250 mph what mods does he have?

Obviously he is talking in Kph. Without a front airdam you would be a dead man at anything over 200mph.....perhaps sooner.
