Top Speed: Fastest Ever?

I did a search, but couldnt really find anything. But my question is, what is the fastest speed anyone has ever had documented a stock style suspension 4th gen F-Body to? Top speed, over any distance.

Thanks!

Probably should have narrowed it a bit though, looking for LSx cars only. Not sure what his setup was....

Ask Boyce "NataSS Inc." I think he is working on being the first stock cube 200MPH LS1. I am not sure what he was trapped at. I want to say up around 180 offical.

This is the drag racing section, might have better luck in another area.

Ive had my car pegged playing with a ls1 on the highway, He said we were doing 170-175 when I ended up talking to him when we got off at the same exit, I havent gone much over 100 since that day, I thought for sure something bad was going to happen But the adrenaline rush........... ( highly recommended ) ( now my brakes are warped to btw )

Going that fast on a public highway is abso-******-lutely retarded. Shitty roads, other traffic, and too many cops just dying to take your license.
If you wanna push the limit, put up a few bucks and get it into the record books.
