I've reached the top speed in my car (which was drag limited) and the top speed in a friends V6 Firebird (which was electronically limited). In my car, it just keeps going faster and faster, but slowly the rate at which you're going faster slows down and levels off until you can't go any faster. Drag limited cars will have a higher top speed if you have the windows up and the t-tops on (I had neither). Electronic limits feel like the driver snapped his foot off the gas...they aren't as violent as a rev limiter, and you don't 'bounce' off it...it just cuts spark until you're below the limit.
Coincidently, if you want to disable the limiter....if you have a manual car, you can sometimes disable the sensor that tells what gear you're in. The speedo will still work, but usually the limiter is tied to the gearbox.
