What's the highest top speed you've driven?

 

do a search there was a discussion about this not to long ago so many responses!

 

i took my 98 transam..to 155...i was gonna go to the limiter..but i ran out of room..didnt feel like taking a curve..at 155...i know it was stupid..but it was fun and now i can say..i took my car that fast even though..only about 25% of the people i tell after they ask me dont believe me

 

there was 160 mph is what they can do stock... maybe a little faster if you have the land to do so...


BUT as for people on the site Nata SS (moderator here on tech) has done 197 and will be doing faster im sure. (he does ORR open road racing)


i personally have gone over 178 mph according to the HUD on the Heads/cam vette i was in

 

Well I do believe you. I don't know how accurate my speedometer is. I live in Germany and I have a european speedometer gauge that ends with 270Kmh~168mph. The fastest I was driving was 266Kmh~166mph

Is there a digital speedometer for the ls1 to see exact speed readings?

 

yoh z28camarols1...wahts up wit those lights on your bottom bumper...ive never seen those the 2 brake lights beside ur license plate..Ive never seen those is it a german thing??

 

fastest ive gone is just 130...im sure i coulda done more, but i was too chicken to try it on the freeway

 

@msbz_ls1
those ugly lights are fog lights. All european models have this bumper with those lights. The highway in Germany is very good for top speed driving and it's legal.

 

oh thanks...i wouldnt of even noticed but i scrolled by like 8 times and it caught my eye and iw as like wtf ar ethose ...

 

I thought that was in a Studebaker?

 

i was doing 145 trying to top it out on the straight as straight can be highway coming back from lubbock, all of a sudden the road got really bumpy and i nearly shat myself, so i shut it down!

 

160 is the top speed? the speedo reads 155 at max, thats kind of weird... and i thought that the camaro was electronically limitied to a certain speed, therefore how can you do 160 stock?

 

160 is where its limited. I remember watching a video of a white TA in LVfbody doing 160 and his car hitting the speed limiter.

However if your car got the winter tire package your car shuts down at 117 or so because of the tire's speed rating.

 

stock speed limiter is 162. i've hit it.

 

Rear fog lights are a requirment on all vehicles in europe if I remember right?

 

152mph here. Those telephone poles really fly by! Just cant seem to trust pushing it any faster. I, too, shat myself when the car started driving ME. I quickly grew a lot more respect for professional drivers who drive 200 laps at near 200mph.

 

when you are doing 160 how many rpms are you at in what gear?

 

dont even talk about those telephone poles!

 

Yup, I think top speed is around 160ish... The exact number is going to vary a little bit between cars...

 

160+ in my Trans Am, the speedo was buried but I was still gaining rpms. I haven't been over 10mph over the limit in my vette though. The only way I would do another high speed run is on a closed track.
