Do you have one of those secret carburetors the automakers are trying to suppress? With that kind of fuel economy at top speed you could drive from Hawaii to California on a tank!

Yeah, you would probably just get a warning doing 140.

befor i did the gear swap (had 2.73's) i had mine somewhere over 155 (i guess about 162-163ish) but now i have 3.73s so im never gonna see that again i dont need to go that fast anyways


i would love to get another camaro 6sp.. and put some 2.73's in it.. im sure with a few mods you could get really close to 200mph, but thats just a crazy thought..

135, both in the V6 (tuned, used RPM since speedo stops at 120) and the LS1 (stock tune).

I hit 135-140 but was running out of room fast! I took a slight corner that normally is effortless at 60, at 110 it was pretty damn scary.

Im sorry but you're an idiot and should not own a car that can go that fast.

I mean its fine if you want to risk your own life go ahead, thats your decision but at those speeds it is very easy to make one misteak and then you're dead. Now, taking three other people with you and being responsilbe for them at those speeds that ******* dumb.

Somewhere around 130-135MPH.

I prefer acceleration over top speed. I wanna get to that top speed fast.
That, and I don't like using 5th or 6th gears at WOT.
