The speed limiter is part of the factory calibrations programmed into the engine control module. The limit is set because of the speed rating of the tires installed at the assembly plant. There is not a removeable chip in that computer. It is programmed by having the calibrations directly "burned" into the PROM portion of the computer. The computer is reprogrammable, but a dealer will not be able to put in a program that will disable your speed limiter. It's possible that some aftermarket source can do it. There is a potential liability issue involved. Be careful!
A Colorado isn't really a race vehicle.

Its held back by a rev limiter, the engine can't with stand those rpm so the computer retards the spark. It also keeps the tires from flying apart cause their not speed rated and will keep you from going to an early grave....Remember , most new OBD II equipped car have a program that show what happened to an engine before it failed... like speeding. I think you have a in-line 5 cylinder, only a V6 or a V8 can get you the speed you want.
Good Luck...

GM (and other manufacturers as well) install a governing function in the PCM of any of their vehicles that are not performance or police vehicles, and do not have speed rated tires on them. (none of which does a Colorado qualify as) You can usually obtain performance programmers from a multitude of suppliers. My advice is to slow down and drive a Colorado the way it's supposed to be driven. If you need more speed, than get a vehicle that's made for it. High speed manuevers in a Colorado is just going to get you killed.

This might explain it to you what Content theft is. Content Theft Deterrent (CTD) Description and Operation The content theft deterrent (CTD) system, when armed, is designed to deter vehicle content theft by pulsing the horns and exterior lamps for approximately 2 minutes when an unauthorized vehicle entry is detected. However, the CTD system does not affect engine starting. The CTD system is armed and disarmed solely by the keyless entry transmitter. Once armed, if a keyless entry transmitter is not used to disarm the CTD system, an unauthorized entry will be detected. An unauthorized entry can be any of the following with the CTD system armed: • When any door is opened without being unlocked by using the keyless entry transmitter. • When opening a door with the correct key without disarming the CTD system. The components of the system are: • The body control module • The door ajar switches Arming the CTD System Important: The content theft deterrent (CTD) system can be armed with the windows or sunroof open. Use the following procedure in order to arm the system: Place the shift lever in PARK (P). Turn OFF the ignition. Open any door. Important: The system is not armed if the doors are locked manually, the remote keyless entry transmitter must be used to arm the CTD system. Press the LOCK button on the transmitter. The horn will chirp 6 times to notify the operator that a door is open. A second press of the LOCK button within 3 seconds will lock the doors and the CTD system will arm as soon as the open door is closed. Alternately, the system can be armed after all doors are closed by simply pressing the LOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter. The system will arm as soon as the button is pressed. Locking The Vehicle Without Arming The CTD System Locking the vehicle may be accomplished without arming the content theft deterrent (CTD) system. Use of the manual door locks, power door lock switch, or by using the vehicle key to lock the doors will lock the vehicle but not arm the CTD system.

Yes, the chip is what is programmed to keep the vehicle speed down. The primary reason is that the tires on the vehicle are an P-rated tire.. The speed rating on the tires is generally how they govern the speed of the vehicle. (safety)

You should not be allowed to drive faster than 28 mph. You are a danger to everyone else on the road and should have your licensed revoked and you should be thrown into the slammer for 5 years for just thinking these horrible thoughts.

I don't think it's supposed to go past 100mph... it's 2004 after all

Nothing legal! This is a computer program to insure the speed and over exposure to the engine and drive train.
