Default Car won't drive over 90 mph. How do I disable this?

Just got car and I don't know if I accidentally set it this way but at 90mph a message comes up and I can't remember what it said but no matter how much I press the gas pedal the car won't go over 90mph. Google didn't help me enough so I thought I'd check here.

The sped warning message that comes up can be disabled using the multi-function stalk.. you can just turn it off thru the menu. I think it may be under LIMITS. (it's been a while so don't quote me..)

HOWEVER, that should not prevent the car from going beyond the speed warning.. You must have something else going on? What year 997?

it was only once that I hit that point and didn’t test it after that so it’s possible I could be incorrect about pressing the pedal further and not getting more speed than 90

It probably is in the multifunction display. I'll set a warning limit when I mount a speed restricted tire such as my winter setup. I frequently blow past it so it's not a hard limit. I think the setting is also key specific (e.g. Key #1: no limit, Key #2: 75 mph) and there are also speed limits that can be set in the PCM. Again none of them are a hard limit.
