Was talking about a regular corvette not a z06...So all of your reference about your z06's top speed was irrelevant from my first post

110 would be better imo.
But the low limiter did save mme once when an *** in rural OK got pissed that I passed him in my minivan and tried to chase me down in his limited f150. I waved at home "Buh Bye" as I accelerated past 100 and he stopped like he hit a wall. Haha....whhooohhh scarey = we were in the middle of nowhere and no cell reception so I got lucky b/c he was crazy and trying to run us off the road.

Yes, ok, I'll give you that one man. But my argument still stands.

Now I didn't even know I was going that fast as the ride was so smooth but it has me thinking, is the top speed limited to 100?

I did 145mph 3 times in my 08 titan with bullydog, intake, exhaust, 2.93 gears. With goodyear sra's at 50 psi. Prob not the smartest idea. That was a fun truck tho I try not to rag on my new truck!
