U.S. LS430's have limiters.

It's a legal restriction related to Tire Ratings.

Mine still breaking in at 6k right now. I'd only taken it to 110 mph couple of times when I return home late around 1am. Just to see how it handles. It feel pretty stable at high speed but my 740iL is a lot better.

Your profile states 25 years old. Your statement clearly lacks maturity and I thought you were in the teens. Also, Are you calling yourself an idiot?

I don’t think anyone is here to evaluate others maturity, so please lets just keep it at that, and stop this bickering guys.

130 on a track.
This just verifies why I couldn't go faster.

I didn't feel safe @ that speed unlike my X5 4.4i.
Perhaps it's the tires, perhaps it's just the suspension which isn't dialed in for those kind of speeds.

They wouldn't put a rev. limit so low I have been to 155 in my '97 ls400 (on the highway supervised by an exprienced track driver of course, I also have an supra trasmission in mine so I can shift manually ) and my Mothers' ls430 will easily go faster than mine, but yeah I have nothing keeping from disrupting the rev. limiter and I can break 155.

Profile also says he resides in Jeddah. It is not hard for me to imagine a very friendly Highway situation for high speed runs.

Default LS430 Top Speed?

I'm not suggesting anyone try this, but out of interest has anyone pushed their LS430 close to the limit? I always wondered if it would do more than 120 or 130mph. I've never tried it and probably never will!

Heard U.S versions top out at 135mph.

G.C.C versions can reach 250 km and then stop, I think that's where the limit is there.
