You can disable that. Check the owners manual. To disable this you don't need to go to the dealer to have it done.

IS350: About 130 - 135 for me and the car had more. Very smooth and firm handling.

Are you talking about the red ring or the orange ring?

You can only set the orange ring. The red one just lights up to tell you you're going way to fast!! I've only made it light up once.
