F-Bodes were limited to 162, but can easily be changed. I have no need to change mine.

Either a hand held tuner can do it or if you go to a shop and get your car tuned you can have them do it.

Only if it came with Z rated tires, if not it was limited to 118.

Once and as ironic as it sounds I ended up wrecking the car on a different occassion and it had nothing to do with speeding. I managed to hit the rev limiter in 5th gear in my 2002 WS6 on the interstate.

My 2000 SS speed limiter is still at 162. I have no need for it to be that high either, but it should trap in the 130's this racing season.
