it may have some rev restrictions in lower gears to prevent you from blowing the engine, but that top speed is the result of the equilibrium of the car's mechanical capabilities and things that slow it down (internal friction, drag, etc..)

all cars built in north america have a speed limiter from my understanding.
the only country that i can see not having it would be germany.
then again people cant really run away from polizei either since they rolling in porche 911 turbo's aswell.
