I don't expect to hit the speed limiter, (not the rev limiter) with my turbo-lite, but I understand speed is usually limited by tires. My Goodyear LS are rated at 118 mph, and I'd expect the speed limiter to be set below that. GT's must be set higher. Anybody hit the speed limiter with their GT?
You are taking a big chance going anywhere near 100 mph in a stock PT. The stock tires may be rated higher than than 100 mph but the OEM Goodyears are JUNK. I blew a rear tire many years ago at 85 mph and was luckly enough not to hit anything but it was very scary. The other thing no one mentioned is if a cop sees you going that fast you could be walking for a VERY long time
