If the car came with the Goodyear Eagle RSAs, then you have a governor at 118 mph. If it came with the GSCs, your governor is at 162. Do you know which tires your car originally came with?

the advanced tech is not the right forum, please read the headings before you post.
look on the plate under the RPO sticker, it will list the OEM tire, non zrated are limited to 118 as RussStang stated above. you can also look at the RPO code Qxx, dont remember off hand, check the FAQ.

I had reached 125 I was still climbing. That was in my 99 Z. I'm going to see if i can find something.
