i got my speedo up to 110...but i gotta say that was on a very straight well maintained highway with no cars and only for like 2-3 seconds cause it felt kinda scary...it didnt feel like it was being governed though...still had a little gas left to give

110 is correct, I live here in Germany and it sux that my limiter kicks in at 110 mph when everyone flys by me. In my car i have had it up to 185mph but thats an M3. I will get the limiter taken off on my 05 Dakota cruising at 130mph should be no problem.

I always thought it's not how fast you go, but how fast you get there that counts.

Most vehicles are governed to the speed rating of the OE tires.
