If you dont have the sport package, you're governed at 105mph

if you don't have the sports package that includes the upgraded tires and rims, then your governor is set to 105... if you don't upgrade your tires and rims, don't change youre governor, or you can be sure to expect a blowout because your tires are rated to 107mph... what's that mean?? after that they will blowout... not fun at 107

I doubt the dealership will do it for you. That's like them going "sure, go out and drive the thing at 130mph down some dark road".... yeah, I don't think that's happening.
