Where's the aerodynamic limit and horsepower limit? Oh, it's not there.

My 2003 hit 155mph very easily (governed) on 245/45r18 rears with just an injen exhaust and plenum spacer (in Mexico) I wouldn't see any issue going another 10mph

And the governor is based on the speed indicated, not actual speed. If the speedo isn't accurate, neither is the speed limiter.
