No speed limiter on mine
Didn't think they were limited As the factory top speed is 175
But it does somewhat confuse the ABS and TC if you go over 175 I can vouch for that
I've never driven a Granddad bus, so can only speak for the Calibra GT
I hit the limiter once (on a very long private runway of course) in my old vxr8 and all that happens is the car kinda gently takes your foot off the gas and just holds the speed at around 155/156.

Not sure about Monaro, but the VXR8 is electronically limited to 155mph.

It was nice of Holden to cater for older drivers by not allowing them to stray into dangerous waters on their pensioner-mobiles....I hit the limiter once (on a very long private runway of course) in my old vxr8 and all that happens is the car kinda gently takes your foot off the gas and just holds the speed at around 155/156.
On a serious note, that's quite bad! Presume it's easily mapped out however?

Apparently it's dead easy to remove, or rather set to a much higher figure so that it won't get in the way.
