Had the 99 tapping the speed limiter before it was tuned, so 161-162. Last week I ran down an LT-1 and according to the gear calculator went 170 in the WS6, oops. It's supposed to be the daily driver and told myself I wasn't going to beat it Find that pretty funny since the speed limiter has been removed from the WS6 and still trying to determine what all it has done to it. The only things I can find so far is it has a Loudmouth (obviously), timing chain and ported oil pump. Just don't know if it was tuned with a handheld or gotten a proper tune???

145 before I ran out of straight double lane and had to get off it. It was still pulling and I'm sure would go to the speed limiter, given enough good road.

I've lost count how many times I've been north of 145mph. Speedo is all messed up with the 4.10s now, but M6 car, so I know it still gets up there.....

Sure you can wreck and die, or you can do 60mph all your life and get killed by the flu, stuck by lightning, or some other stupid ****.

on my way home from buyin my lt-1, at the end of my jr. year of high school, i burried the needle. so like 152 or so. since then its been past 150 a dozen times. the guys always tell me they can hear me a few miles from town, so i wanted to hear it sometime. so one evening, a friend and i took it past 150, 4 times, twice so i could hear it from the side of the road on a flyby and accelerating from a stop. fastest i went racing was 148 vs a g35 ( i won). cruised in the Z at 140 with a friend who was drivin his moms lexus... yes, young and stupid!!!

i live in nebraska among the cornfields...its flat, very flat.

135 when it was stock. I've done 145 a handful of times a few years ago and don't plan on doing it again on a public road. I don't even remember the last time I went over 80 mph on the street.

135 in the stock dumdumdumdumdum with a bad opti. That was its max it wouldnt go any faster. After the opti was fixed the guy who bought it from me said he got it to 150. The 01 went 140 i let off though cause i got scared.

We burried the needle in the 83...but the needle only goes to 85 so i would say close to 100 in that.
