Default speed limiter??

i have a 95 trans am a4 and 2.73 gears i believe and i cant get over 145mph. i have seen most people hitting 150-155. also my car goes to about 45 in first and about 95 in second then hits the 145 in 3rd and when it goes to 4th it just doesnt pick up no more? is this a factory speed limiter or did the owner before me do something to it cause also yall say u cant drop a car with 2.73s into first gear and i can in mine? and last i have the tranny perform button and i thought with it off it would shift at 5700 and with it on at 6000, but with on or off if shifts at 6000?

Maybe a shift kit would help you get your extra 10mph...
