Default Electronica governor?
Are Corvettes electronically governored to limit top speed? Some cars are. The new BMW Z4s are limited to 155 mph.

Any info?

No the car will go as fast as it can, which stock for an LT1 is about 163.

Yes, mine tops out at 136. I think its because I have a convert, though. It would go faster but once I hit 136, I can feel the pedal pull back on me and it won't go any faster. If I replace the chip, it'll increase the top end, so I have no idea what the car can actually do.
