Just got over. 500 miles on her. But so far I've got to a whopping 65mph.! Maybe I'll get a little faster next few days if so I'll post.

109 on a 2LT

Maybe 150ish on the 1SS.. I had too much fun driving to pay attention to the spedo.

If I had mine now, and talked to the airport..I'd probably see how fast I could get a 1SS going on a 10,000 foot ANG runway. 4th of July airshow coming up.. would make a cool attraction to race it against one of the college's airplanes.

I am still breaking-in the car. Got it to 95 without a problem, the only thing is there isn't much open road up here in Maine. I think I am going to be stuck below the 3 digit mark for awhile.

There is a video of a guy in a new camaro driving over 170 on this forum, so unless he did something to the ECM or added soemthing there is no true governed restriction, not to say that it isnt governed just the video clearly shows him going over 170. I will look for it and I know it occurred in SOCAL somewhere.

I was at 115 MPH (185 KM/H) in 4th at about 5000 rpm and had to slow down...traffic. At that speed I would of lost my license for a week and the car for a month

Eh, no order or anything yet. I'm still 15, so the "What do you drive?" is sort of wishful thinking. They just let me take it from the lot to detail the other day, and I took a few spins around the building without going on the street haha.
