Believe me, I wanted to push it further and the engine had more since the electronic limiter was disengaged, but it was starting to become very challenging driving experience and I backed off. I've driven NASCAR stockers well above these speeds and had fun because they were set up for it. I can't imagine anything above 160 being any fun at all in anything close to a stock Camaro.

If you want to go this fast, build a purpose built race or drag car and keep it on the track. If this is your daily or weekend driver, I have one question to ask. Why would you want or need the ability to go this fast?

Strange? I thought the car was very stable at 135mph.
