Default 172 mph in a cam only camaro



Well friday night I went to my future sister in laws house and her daddy had this new gps and he was like you think that camaro will do 150? I was like I think it will go 170 he called bs. I made this run and the window blew in or out I dunno but once I hit 172 alot of air came rushing in on the driver side window. It was still pulling ok but the whole window thing scared me.

Before anybody say this was stupid, ignorant or any othe silly stuff folks tend to say this was on a 12 mile straight road in a town of 2500 people so only person was gonna DIE would be me.

This is in vinton, la bout 4 miles east of orange on gum island rd. I dont have a vid cause I didnt plan on doing this, kinda one of those things I dont think you will oh I bet I will things. We checked the gps with the speedo at 70 it was right on. Im not gonna do that again for a while I just dont think from the way the car sounded it was intended for those speeds.

The window thing has a lot to do with the weather stripping. My camaro does that around 90 you can hear air start to come in. Above that and it does what you said above. It almost sounds like there's no window.

Yeah 4th will only go to 130~


Oh and i did a topspeed run in my A4 and ran outta speedo. I'd say at about 160mph is when my window popped out, i too got freaked out and let off. Good job though, way to uphold the f-body rep.
