My Xj12 speed limits at 158. I've never hit the limiter but did pop a transmission line in it at 140+. What a mess that made. Red ATF EVERYWHERE. On a white car, it looks like measles.
Our Xj8 speed limits at only 121 for some crazy reason, but even the tiny V8 should get it to 140 - 150 ish if it was removed, I would think.
I don't know if the V6 G8 is speed limited - I expect it could do 130 or a little better if it's not, even with the tiny V6. Aerodynamic drag starts to be a real big deal around that speed, though. My GTO (Monaro) was supposed to be limited at 155, but I never tried to hit it.
All three of the above cars are very stable and composed at triple digit speeds.
The S-10 is gutless, probably couldn't hit the century mark in free fall from an airplane, and the others are wife driven, so I doubt they've seen over 70. They'll never see a speed limiter, if they have one.
