Does my 1999 have a topend limiter

I want to know if my car will shut down at a certain speed. If so what is it?

Not that I know of. I've had my '02 up to 175 (indicated)!

Why ask us :confused: :rolleyes: Go find a nice safe stretch of interstate (or whatever) and find out for yourself :D:D:D

If you have to ask then it will probably depend on the size of your kahunas

No top end limiter other than drag. Car should be able to do between 170 and 175.

I have a 99 hard top and I've had it up to 170mph on the interstate. It'll do at least that much. :yesnod:
