How fast can you go on factory suspension
How fast can you go if you use a torgue arm relocation bracket to move the Factory torque arm off the trans and add SFC.. but other than that have all GM factory suspension?

the front probably was lifting thats the only problem i felt before i lowered my car, that and a vibration from a bad alignment but the ss and ws6s have a little stiffer susp than the rest so there a little better at high speeds. i took about a 10 degree swooping turn at about 145 and the car felt stable al the way through. lowering it really helped the lift

So lowering did make a difference in the way it felt? What worries me about going that fast as far as aerodynamics and lift is concerned, is that the fbody is considered a "bottom breather" with that air dam to direct airflow into the radiator. Now another question is, where does a corvette pull air from? From under the car like the fbody does? Or from somewhere else?

after i lowered my car i think it actually pulls air better into the radiator, because, there is less space now between the road and the air dam so its kinda like ram air for ur radiator. i went to 170+ in a trans am non ws6 and it felt good. my friend has a 99 ss and that car felt great above 150 like it was made for it. we we radard at 169 and we and the car was still pulling hard. his is an automatic also for some reason his 99 ss pulled super hard after 145
