The only time I had be cover come off, I was doing about 80. Since then I have done the velcro piece on the cover and it has held at any speed I've gone. If you are talking about how fast without the cover has been about 50 as I don't like to drive with the cover off.

Are you talking about the cover or the convertible top itself?
I have had mine up over 100 and had zero problems with either thing.

The car has been tested at max speed with top down (no cover) to ensure it doesn't lift. This per a Camaro program manager at the SIX reveal.

If you have a flux capacitor its 88 mph
If you dont its whatever your car is tuned for along with the tire rating

my last convertible, a 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP with some mods and a tune, did 163 with the top down, no problem.
this Camaro I have, has done 120+ top up and top down, no problem. that's as fast as it will ever go. I'm just too old to try going any faster.

I have had my Camaro to 140 with the top down and over that with it up. It feels very stable in both conditions.

I've seen a convertible at 225.7 mph with the top up... No issues...
