Trans Am with speedometer only 120mph? Just a quick question. I recently purchased a 94 auto T/A. Its definitly a 5.7L, but my speedometer only registers to 110 or 120 (cant remember which right now since Im not looking at it, but I know its not more than 120.) Did this come stock, or has the cluster been changed? Thanks for any answers anyone may have.

I'm not sure where but I'm sure I read that if the car wasn't ordered from the Factory with Z Rated tires, The speedomoter only goes to 120 and it has like a 108MPH Speed limiter. Check on your door and see if the sticker has a Z rating on the tire size. If not, I guess what I read was true.

It is stock. I have a 94 T/A as well and it's the same...I think 110. The GT T/A's I believe went up to 150, but the regular T/A's had the 110.
*EDIT* - Heres a pic of mine.

make sure the 8th vin digit is a P which is for the LT1 so you will know for sure if it is an original v8 car
if it is its definitely possible that if it didn't come with z rated tires that a lower speed cluster was installed from the factory i have seen in both ways i know of 95 camaros with limiters at 115 with 150 mph speedos

I know a guy that used to have a 00 camaro z28 a4 that was limited to 115mph or something. His speedo when to 150. He was like damn my v6 mustang was limited to 117.
