Differences in Speedometers?
Differences in Speedometers?
I saw an Firebird for sale automatic, possibly around a 93-94 model. What should the speedo read for the LT1. I want to make sure it is not a V6.

It was in a store parking lot that is 2hrs from me. The rain washed away the contact number. The exhaust was aftermarket and it was single cat, which I think is standard on the auto LT1's.

From F-Body.org FAQs:
Q: Which cars came with the speed limiter and 115 MPH speedometer?
A: All cars that came with stock touring tires (Good Year Eagle GA 235/55R16) were speed limited to 108 MPH. In addition, they got a 115 MPH speedometer. Cars opting for the QLC package (Good Year Eagle 245/50ZR16 GS-C tires) or the QFZ package (Good Year Eagle 245/50ZR16 RS-A tires, available in 1995 and after), automatically got the 155 MPH speedometer and did NOT have a speed limiter. This is because GS-Cs and RS-As are Z-rated for speeds over 165 MPH. Any car leaving the factory with a Z-rated tires, should also have the 155 MPH speedometer and no speed limiter.
