96' 850 Turbo How Fast with stock ECU?

    I understand the 96' 850 turbo is "electronically speed limited", does
    anyone know what that upper limit is?
    Reason: Mine runs great at 100mph, but shakes badly at 110mph. My mechanic
    thinks the computer is shutting off half the engine at the upper limit.
    FYI
    I am not an idiot driver, but when passing a car doing 65mph and you nail
    the throttle on a '96 850 turbo sedan, you'll be going 100mph before you
    can say "Hold on there!"

    I've taken my 1996 850R up to 130mph. I doubt the standard turbo has a
    limiter at 110mph.
