Well Todd:
Yes, I'm certain orig. spec. rubber was V rated. That would be the minimum allowable tire for that car, with the B234R motor, which was Aero-spec in 93 thru 97 9000's.
You don't have to mount V-rated, or greater, rubber if you don't want to . . . but you should. It's not just about max velocity, you'll have greater responsiveness with quality sneakers. The car will drive "smoother", take and hold a "set" through a corner, and the rubber will last longer. And it's a relatively light car (~3300# + load) so a buck well spent will last a little longer.
that's my wee opinion . . . cheers, enjoy, and what's your next Q???
