Why do you want to remove your limiter?? You have no buisness going that fast any ways unless you're doing it on a track.

I admit, one time I took mine up the limiter and the car was terrible. Felt very light, almost a bit twitchy, espicially in the rear. Didn't feel really solid at all, and I wouldn't want to go any faster then that in a Pt Cruiser. They're just not made for that, they're made to be a good practical "cruiser", not for autobahn-like driving. Removing the speed limiter, espically with the intent to go past that limit on a public road in our cars, is just downright dumb.
I've heard of that. The limiter is there because the PT is very unstable at those high speeds. I think the drag coefficient of the PT is .41. (Those in the know please verify!) So for us, we should not "Drive it like you stole it," but "Drive it like a Cruiser." [?] From what I've seen and heard, we can get these puppies pretty fast already. The limiter is there to keep us safe.
