Default crazy question, but ned answer anyways

i recently have been in trouble with the law <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> , and now they want me to slow down my car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> (the only way that they will let me keep it). so they want me to put a top speed limiter on my car to keep me from going the 162 that my SS has (i think that is what it is). so any feedback will be great. thanks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

It is my understanding that some F-bodies that came from the factory with the RS/A (non Z-rated) tires had the speed limited set to 123 MPH from the factory.
You may be able to get your dealer to set it to that configuration. Just a guess. Hope this helps.

ha, ya i already got a lawyer, but thats the lowest he could get me with a little comm. service. i guess i can try the dealer, but they want me to lower it to around 90 or so. i was thinkin if maybe like if buying ls1 edit or something similar it would have the option? <img border="0" alt="[fight]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" />
