A ZL1 owner told me he has taken it up to 200mph.
Don't come down on me too hard for this dumb question but this possible with just a tune?

with a tune and long enough straight road it is possible, but improbable.

Would just the addition of a cold air intake increase the total speed projection?

Not 100% sure and I am not sure if the top speed on the ZL1 is computer limited like the V6 and SS cars are.

We're limited to 184 lol. Kind of a pointless limiter to be honest. You can't go 185+, but 184 is ok., at least that's what I think it said somewhere was 184.

I agree it would be improbable considering the fact that you not only need a straightaway long enough to achieve 200 MPH you also have to have enough road left to STOP the car.

I don't think we are limited at 184. I think that's where we run out of HP to go any faster. Lingenfelter has a video on there website of their 200mph ZL1 run.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure that we're limited on speed due to HP & aerodynamics.

Not happening without engine upgrades. Let's just say I have wanted to see 200 on the speedo for many years and made many attempts before I got there. The stock car has too much drag over 180 to continue to accelerate at a reasonable rate. After you hit the redline in 5th there is not much acceleration at all. If you watch the Hennesey video they hit terminal velocity at 203.9 with a manual and more than 120 hp over stock.
I had to get 800 whp before I saw it.
