B4C camaros do have speed limiters! OK I own a 2002 B4C Camaro A4. (3.23 gears)
For the longest time i wonder if they were really governed. So my friend actually drove my car with me on the passengers seat on an open highway, absolutly no cars, just desert. He floored it and around 120mph i told him to keep going, the car pegged the speedometer and rpms kept rising, then just about at 5k rpms on 4th the car would hit the limiter and just jerked and would not go faster. So im guessing 160+. did have a camaro put snaped a pic with the phone. Not the smartest thing in the world but atleast i know my car is govern.

what I'm wondering is, why'd you let your friend drive your car that fast?
I'm hesistant to let anyone behind the wheel of my camaro (also a b4c), especially not for some high-speed test.

I dont even let people drive my 91 Civic, let alone my T/A, if someone is going to wreck it, it will be me.
