He's not right, technically, and this is why.
Yes, '94 and later SVXs have an electronic speed limiter, but it's not the rev limiter. There's a very simple explanation why a rev limiter wouldn't curb an SVX's top speed:
The '92 and '93 SVXs are only limited in their top speed by drag.
I seem to remember reading that the SVX's gearing, if the car had enough power, would allow it to reach over 200mph before redlining.
I'm almost certain that all model-year SVXs have a rev limiter and '94-up SVXs have speed governing circuitry, as well.
Whether or not those ECUs also contain features that hinder those cars' performance, I don't know - but I suspect that's the case.
