Honestly not real sure of my top speed in my cars. I've been 145+ in the '99 SS, the '01 SS has lived a somewhat charmed life and has only been into the low 120's. I had a '02 WS6 back in college with a built 427 and spray. I abused that car like it was a Mustang. Burried the speedo on it almost daily. That car was like a woman, tried to kill me daily, but I loved the ride!
Also, went 155 in my buddies '94 LT1 Z28 way back in high school.

Had mine to about 155 on a local airstrip when they had top speed days. About 140 on the street blowing the doors off a 98 cobra, thats about it. Only had it to about 120 otherwise.
