from the factory all f-bodies have some form of speed limiter. the only cars that did not have any speed limiter were the B4C optioned police cars.

The stock chip in my Camaro had a 108 mph cut off. Get a performance chip like a hypertech one or get a custom one made.

speed limit is 65.......why do you need to go faster than 108 in a 21 year old car?

Actually for thirdgen, it depended on what tires came with the car. If you got the 245/50/16 tires, then it didnt have a speed limter. (it does, but it is set at 255mph)

How does the speed limiter work on those cars? Does it just limit fuel and/or spark at a predeterminied MPH?

Yes - just pulls spark....the throttle is just on a cable - nothing there that could "kick" it back out to you.

There is nothing from the factory that will make the gas pedal kick back out.
