110mph speedometer on a Formula? My uncle has a 1994 Formula that I got to drive the other day, and noticed that it only has a 110mph speedo on it... I have never seen anything other than 150 on a LT1/LS1 f-body before so I thought it'd be worth posting up to see if that's normal..

It depends on what options the car came with, if it came with the perfomance options, Z rated tires (Eagle GSCs), 3.23s gears if it was an auto and so on, then it got the 155 speedo. The cars with the 110 were usally the ones that came with non Z rated tires and 2.73 gears.

I have teh 95 catalog and all that crap somewhere, I keep all that assorted crap. I might look for it if I get time, and there could have been different tire selections for different years or different area's of the country...
