If you want to know the capability of your car without the speed limiter, check the C6 Corvette. It doesnt' have a speed limiter and had 400 HP with the LS2 in 2005 when it launched, the same as an L99 roughly speaking. And a base C6 Corvette today is running the same LS3 as the Camaro with basically the same HP (430 vs. 426)

A C6 is aerodynamically MUCH better than a Camaro.

But FirstLSK hit it on the head. This is crazy. Autobahn or not.
