The fastest I have even been is about 165 mph back in the summer of "74" when I was 17yrs old and in a brand new 1974 Road Runner with a 440 6pk back before radar was around. My friends who moved to Tenn. after H.S. came up for a visit and we were racing my brother in his 1972 Chevelle with a smaller V8 from the Crittenden to Dry Ridge exit the last mile or so. It was about 3am and we went pass him like he was sitting still and he (my brother) went off the ramp at Dry Ridge around 120mph. There was a COP on top of the bridge who came after us and not having radar back then pulled of over and gave us the riot act. We had slowed down or he would haven't been the one pulling us over. He told us that he estimated us driving by at 85 or 90 mph when we seen us. Luckily my brother and friend were the only cars on I-75 at the time. When we did slow down to 70mph I thought I could just open the door and walk away. The officer let us go with a warning but said he was calling down I-75 for other troopers to be on the lookout for us. This car will be heavier than the car I was in but believe me when you get going that fast it isn't the smartest thing to do because unless the suspension package is built right you could be lifted off the air really quick.
Take your camaro to a track and open it up but not on today's roads. Be safe and not stupid like I was. It isnt' worth it in the long run.
Just my $0.02
