            I believe (cannot find the exact numbers) that GM has changed the transmission gear ratios from time to time, so the speeds achievable will change.

                I can take 3rd somewhere north of 90mph if I recall correctly. I usually don't look to see how fast I'm going, I either glance at the tach or wait for the shift light to come on if I'm into it WOT ;)
