Yeah, I was being chased by a friend in his TA, I was on my 07 R1 (Power Commander, Gutted Y-Pipe, Two Brothers Exhaust) we were on a long *** strait away and I hit 183 and still had more. He told me he was pegged out almost and I was gaining major distance on him. So I would say around 160-65

I wonder if that is something they did for obdII because when i was on my stock tune i was able to exceed 145mph without bumping into a limiter and my car originally came with ZR rated tires as well

i was pretty much a victim of that. i had to get away from the local sheriff so i flat footed her and never looked back. 6600 rpms in 3rd gear with a set of 25.7" and 2.73's out back = 184 mph. i know our tachs arent exactly the most accurate but they are pretty darn close. so ill call it 175 for arguments sake. later that week my connecting rod bearings failed and scored the crank .060 and the cylinder walls .020 but she's a healthy 9.8 :1 355 right now.

Haha no not trying to be a dick at all man. I was just curious where i would be at. I dont know how fast iv gone because i dont know my rear gears and our speedo's only go to 155.

not a problem man some people like to be dicks. from what i have been reading i think i ran out of power. At the time my camaro felt like she was still pulling but at the same time it felt like i hit a brick wall.

how Many of you will end up as a pancake on the side of the road I wonder?
Ls1s with z rate tires a limited from the factory to 160mph so I would think lt1
with z rated tires would also be 160 or slightly lower

pretty sure the laws of physics would not allow an F-body to hit 270mph.
the veyron (1.5 million dollars) can barely hit 253mph ;]
according to top gear, the tires would wear bald in 12 minutes at those speeds, but thats okay because you'll run out of gas in 5 minutes ;]
