I say give it a shot for the max .. you will have the answer in about 15 seconds.
my personal guess at that ? not ...
some of us, in fact, maybe more than a few have exceeded that as a routine, accidentally of course .. ...

Speed are limited because of the tires installed on the vehicles and for other safety reason. Cars with S rated tires like my Deville shut off at 180 kph (112 mph), and my Suburban cuts off at 160 kph,(100 mph) mud and snow tires. Both vehicles are 8 cylinders with in excess of 250 net HP so easily can go much faster. Concours models of the Deville cut off at 210 kph (130 mph) as they come with H rated tires.
CTS-V have to be capable of very close to 200 mph. It is after all pretty much a Corvette with a Cadillac suit.

hey katz..... nice to hear from ya today, hope your college venture was fruitful......thanks for the scoop.... i sort of figured when Stealth said "you'll have your answer in 15 seconds, i knew the max speed wasn't to far from the 106/ 107...........so your saying the sts is 112...... not that i'm looking for, but can that be modified some how......chip, reprogram, or otherwish?????....just curious.... :-))....... later

I'd say the STS is probably 130 mph, SLS is probably 112 mph. Check the standard issue tire size and speed rating. There are hand held reprogramers that can change the speed limiter as well as some chips.
It was nice going back to campus today, kind of makes one wish they were young again. Uof T is my alma matta so Jr. is following my footsteps.
