My son and I took my new Camaro to the Salt Flats to test her out. The 6.2 liter manual 6 speed did not disappoint. We hit 158 miles per hour before we backed off. It had more to give but we chickened out.

I keep hearing these stories about the camaro hitting high speeds, but we were told from the beggining that the SS is electronically limited at 155mph.

Maybe not?

either way awesome picture.

I hate you!

Seriously, I am very jealous, that is one thing that I want to do but haven't yet. That is great, you must have video, please post!

Congrats, that is just awesome! And that is one hell of a first post!

Nice! that sounds like an awesome experience. By any chance, your front bumper didnt start to crack did it? I know they fixed this problem, but just checking

I am thinking indicated speed and actual speed may be slightly off

Kilo-9 · 08-16-2009, 11:11 PM

Or they disabled the speed limiter with tuning software.

so do the saltflats make your car rust?

I thought it was controlled to 165...somewhere in the 60's range.

99% sure its 155 mph

From the factory it is set to a 155 limit; however, during a tune this can be changed.
I plan on changing mine when I get my tune next week.
