Clear 180 MPH run, only exhaust: https://youtu.be/7xOV0YELgCk?t=31
Only 178 MPH due to drag: https://youtu.be/6mHYpuyFxxc?t=62
There was this one guy who managed to reach 183 MPH, but that video got taken down by YouTube. |
Okay, thanks. I just wanted to see the speed governor screen, but the video of the first run ends right when the car reaches 180. The speed limit is definitely set in the tune, I've seen it in multiple stock SS tune files, but it would be a nice confirmation to see the same governor message as on the vert.

Yeah, that's both interesting and encouraging, it means GM were not overstating the max speed even though I'd only seen videos where the car struggled after 170 and topped out at 177-178.
As far as I know from one source, the EU version is limited even more, to 265 km/h (165 mph), so this one must have been tuned. Makes total sense, knowing the EU... I'll try to confirm it from different sources.
Wish there were a place for me to try how deep the rabbit hole goes without breaking the bank.
