Re: TOP SPEED LS1 CAMARO?
Well I went through the same thing about a year ago.
Only I went to 6,400 when My shiftlight came on.
I was racing a twin turbo Lotus esprit V8.
the closest anyone could figure out was.
173-180 mph. With my 3:73's and 26 inch tires.
By the way I won <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: TOP SPEED LS1 CAMARO?
you wont make it to 200mph spraying that long. Youll be going say 150ish, spray, maybe MAYBE get up to around 160ish with stock gears, then you will melt your motor....chances are, when the engine lets go you wont keep on accelerating..
but hell, its your car....i say go for it. Video tape the entire thing too! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: TOP SPEED LS1 CAMARO?
I am trying to decide if the motor or the clutch will let go first on the N2O in sixth run. I am betting that the clutch will let go. Fortunately it will only be spinning about 4K and you may walk away with feet.
Seriously, if y'all are going to do this, then make sure you pick a stretch of road with no side streets or traffic. It is one thing to put your own *** in harms way, but another to risk someone else. I have nothing against going fast, just be careful!

Re: TOP SPEED LS1 CAMARO?
I can't believe someone has the ***** to take a $20k camaro up into nascar country mph.
Its one thing to get there and another to do it safely. I don't think my old car would ever slow down from that type of mph <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
