From 93-96 all z28s had 150 speedos right? I know Epic does. I knwo Cassi's does. Jimmy's doesn't. Still has 110. But the vin proves it's a true z and not a swap. If i'm wrong someone let me and Jimmy know. Cause his new car has got both of us corn-fused

The 110 was for the autocross Z28's. If he buys a 150 speedo it'll be a strait swap unlike the V6 guys that try to put 150 speedo's in their cars.

It was part of the performance package on the Z28's. When you upgraded to the Z-rated tires you got the 150 speedo.

Jimmy- Look on your door panel- I am willing to bet that it says 245/50R16 tires, either S or T speed rated.

Thats the difference- I believe those cars are also governed as well.

All car's are goverened just at different speeds. I've topped my Camaro out once when some loser in a Fiero was trying act like his car was fast on the highway.
