TahoeM3 is on a distinguished road
I do wonder what the ungoverned top speed of this SUV would be...I bet it could hit 170 stock before aerodynamics overcame the engine's power, if gearing would allow. Dinan keeps the limiter in place partially due to the runflats and partially due to the high center of gravity, although it does handle speed very well. It is definitely more stable with regular tires than with runflats, though.

The speedo is pretty optimistic with steady-state driving, usually reading about 5 mph high in my experience, although this is probably less true when accelerating.
