A magazine did a test on an ls1 camaro ss and I am almost positive it was limited at 162mph. Not sure where anyone can safely do those speeds. Not around here anyways.

electronically limited. I changed it to 256mph (turned if off) with hptuners. hit 5700rpm in 5th on stock 3.42 gears a few years ago. f-body.org/gears showed 172mph. THEN with hp tuners, i set my limiter to 170 and hit the limiter with 373 gears in 5th. i believe i was just about out of revs too

give me 2 miles of straight road. I'll need a mile to hit 160 and a mile to safely slow down

one of these threads came up not too long ago and i saw some guys in Austrailia got a stock f-body(dont remember t/a or camaro) to 172mph with no limiter(obviously)

Again density altitude and temp will vary the results greatly on the same car. Take that car to sea level on a cold day and 0% humidity and 165 might be the best result, results vary with conditions, but yes, I certainly would believe that the auses hit 172.

Who said anything about safe?

In my 2002 z28 a4 with long tube headers/ tune/ ram air 2.73 gears. 164mph was as fast top speed i could hit. I had a gps in the car with a buddy watching it. My needle was buried, rpm was at redline, thats all she had.

I got 173mph around 4.30am so cops were still in bed, but probably woke up when they hear me coming........ gone.. lol.
Was at 5900RPM in 5th gear, didn't have the guts to put it in 6th as needed two hands on the wheels.

the rpm was at redline? with 3.23's it doesn't hit 4th til 130-140ish. i'd imagine i'd run out of power before gear.

6th wont get you any more than 5th.

I have tried it, at thoes speeds you usually just drop in mph going to 6th
