I've done 155 once and it was scary how much it had left in it but what was scarier was braking down to 65. I don't get the car up over a 100 too much at all theres really no good excuse for it.

They're all limited at 162 mph. Doesn't matter what year, all LS1 F-bodies are set that way.

V6 cars are limited at ~110 mph.

My Formula hits 110 or so almost every time I have it out.

"~" means about. I dunno what it is exactly on V6 cars, I just know it's somewhere in that neighborhood. I don't pay much attention to the V6 cars because everyone pretty much prefers the V8 model.
