The GTO is supposed to have a top speed of about 180. That's with 400 hp, 400 lbft, a 3.42 final drive ratio, and a drag coefficient of .31. The Camaro V6 with 300hp and 270lbft and a 3.27 ratio should probably top out at 160. Maybe a bit more.

The car would probably make 150, but acceleration at those speeds would be incredibly slow. I doubt 170 very much. Maaayyybbeee 160 with an adequate straight.

Edit: Laguna seca is a great looking track. That's my favorite on the racing games I play. I'm half way across the country, but I'd love to go there.
