If I'm not mistaken, all the speed governors are based upon what tires the car comes with from the factory stock.

The GTs should be governed to 108 or so, while the GTP / Comp G are prolly governed to 126 or so, like the previous generation GPs.

FWIW

straight on chew. the 3.8 impalas are the same 108 topend...just like my 04 gt 108. only difference is it doesnt fuel cut at topend now with the electronic gas pedal it just dont go faster no surging.

But make sure you do not over speed your tires. They could blow. Check your tire mfg website for the max speed limit on your tires.
