Yes, I have the white faced gauges too. That's what they look like at night. (weird uh!)
I think the white gauges look alot nicer than the black one too.

It's programmed into the PCM. If you get different tires with a higher speed rating you might be able to find a performance shop that can adjust it accordingly.

The SS/SC have tires rated to 168 but we can't come anywhere near that....stupid drag.

Why... would you just want to constanly want to top out your stock 2.2. The tires aint great stock and your stock suspension aint either. Atleast do some suspensions mods and get some wider tires and maybe more engine work and see what your "top speed" is

This is what I have read in the past, and should be well know by now.

I've hit 110mph mutiple times in my Base model. If i had some suspension and brake mods plus different wheels and tires i would have the limiter removed and bet it would hit 125mph no problem, but with the tires and stock suspension and brakes, no way i would go over 110mph

I've been up to 150 before. I'd like to see if I can go faster. Only this time I'd like to do it on a track <=D
