I just bought a used 2006 Impala from the cab company I drive for. The
speedometer shows 140 MPH. Is this standard on Impalas or is this some
sort of sports or police package? We've bought some very fast cars
before from auction that were former police cars, but I don't know the
origin of this one.

If it was originally ordered as a cab or police vehicle it will have
almost the same severe duty option package. Usually that's a high output
alt., larger cooling capacity, oil, trans, and power steering coolers.
Heavier suspension items and larger brakes and tires.

When I bought my Hyundai Sonata V-6, I sort of chuckled when I saw the 140
speedo. Then I found out the top speed is actually 137 and that has been
verified. I've only had it to 110 so far.

Thanks, I will check those against standard equipment.

I am surprised at a Hyundai. I wouldn't be surprised if the Impala
will do140. At 65, it is turning about 1600 rpm's; red line is 6,000.
