Default 125 mph speedo?

as the tittle says i thought they only put 115 and 155 mph speedometers in the fourth gens?
Looking to purchase a car and in the pics it clearly has a 125 mph speedometer.

The car is a 95 Z

OP, as it happens, I have a '95 V6 and '96 Z28 in my shop. And as you noted the V6 has the 115 and the Z has the 155.

Interesting question. No doubt someone will come along who knows the answer.

Maybe it's a late model cross production thing... ?

As far as I know, there were two different tire options available for the Z28. The "performance option" had Z-rated tires and the higher speedometer whereas the normal tire option (can't remember what rating) contained the lesser speedo and governed PCM.

My 94 z28 has the 115 mph Speedo that I thought came with the governed cars.
In for answers though, pretty interesting.
