Yeah, I was being chased by a friend in his TA, I was on my 07 R1 (Power Commander, Gutted Y-Pipe, Two Brothers Exhaust) we were on a long *** strait away and I hit 183 and still had more. He told me he was pegged out almost and I was gaining major distance on him. So I would say around 160-65

I wonder if that is something they did for obdII because when i was on my stock tune i was able to exceed 145mph without bumping into a limiter and my car originally came with ZR rated tires as well

how Many of you will end up as a pancake on the side of the road I wonder?
Ls1s with z rate tires a limited from the factory to 160mph so I would think lt1
with z rated tires would also be 160 or slightly lower

pretty sure the laws of physics would not allow an F-body to hit 270mph.
the veyron (1.5 million dollars) can barely hit 253mph ;]
according to top gear, the tires would wear bald in 12 minutes at those speeds, but thats okay because you'll run out of gas in 5 minutes ;]
