I believe that's a drag limited speed, not a governor speed.
yea my friend had a 00 si and he removed the rev limiter and he accidentally downshifted into 2nd on the highway and he shot a piston through the hood
A rev limiter won't save you then. The car is moving so fast that it forces the engine to spin really fast, and the engine will still blow. All the rev limiter does is cut fuel after a certain RPM.
