Well you have 2 options, shift to 4th or slow down to a normal speed, it will go faster than 120...

My '67 has 4 forward gears, it will also do 120, not as smooth, not as "nice", the 2010 feels good at 120, the '67 "floats".

I have had stuff on the track faster, the 2010 is both fast and quick, I don't know what it does in 4th, 5th , or 6th.

Anyone who thinks this car is not fast has driven cars I could only dream of driving, or is on crack. This is the fastest car I've ever driven, and I had a stroked 67 Camaro and a fast Bimmer.

*Only other possibility is your cars jacked up (mostly autos that I've heard) or I have an exceptional car.

** Side note - noticing more power by the day - I just went over 2000 miles

What I meant was how fast you get to that 120 mark is what makes it fast. Sure a car can do a 120 but how long did it take to get there?

From a stop, it doesn't feel particularly fast. It feels kinda bulky/heavy. I was expecting more given the hp/tq numbers...

Once rolling though, its a beast. Drop it down a gear or 2, and the V8 pulls strong and hard.

I was honestly expecting some more raw power and tire chirping. Torque management is really robbing this car of some of its fun factor, but I suppose it may be better in the long run, both for the car and for my safety... Its plenty fast to get you in enough trouble though.

If you don't think sub 5.0 second cars are fast, you are spoiled and have been fortunate enough to put you butt in some nice seats. If you don't think 155 mph is fast, you may very well drive ovals and make regular left turns for your weekend fun.

That being said, the LS/LT is quick, the SS is fast. Yes a Corvette is faster and a Z06 is faster still and a ZR1 is even more so. Just depends on what you've been driving.
Hmm, i've always driven Camaro V8s and Corvette z06's so mine goes like this

LS/LT- Decent
SS- Quick
Vette- Fast
Z06- REALLY f***in' fast
ZR1- HOLY F***
