How fast? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

The front end on my '10 felt kinda skittish over 130-140 mph. I have a feeling a splitter, being lowered an inch or so and a vented hood would help out quite a bit. I really wasn't surprised to see a hood vent standard on the '14-15 SS.

At around 125mph+ the aerodynamics change quite a bit on our cars.

My stock V6 felt a little unsettled above 128mph.

The ZL1 feels completely solid at high speeds. I've had mine up around 155mph+ at the track at Auto Club Speedway. It will go faster but you can only take the banked turns so fast....lol

If you are going more than 20-25 over they can arrest you for reckless endangerment I believe.

Couple of mods and gunning out the governor, and z rated tires. You do not want to lose a tire at those speeds.

Probably 155 then.

On the v6 with RS option, the limiter is 155. Closest I've gotten is 120, and things started to feel a little squirrelly with a stock suspension and the car starts to lose downforce... not a great feeling.

That is about what I was thinking. Stock suspension and aerodynamics really isnt meant to be pushed that hard in most cars from my experience.

Went 171.6 in 4th with stock wheels and gearing at the Tx Mile a few years ago.

I hit 118 then the limiter hit because the tires can't get anymore (the 1ls tires). Does it void the warranty to take the limiter off?

In NC if you're doing 15+ over and the speed limit is 55+ the officer can take your license on the spot. I suspect if you're doing anything near 150 it's going to be a ride in the squad car while they haul your ride off to the impound lot.

It's not worth it, I hit the track to get my speed fix. Also, i'm selling the Camaro since I just bought a 2000 Miata to drive and do track/autocross in.

The miata is actually more fun to drive around the street because I can beat on it and still not break the law. The Camaro goes from 0 to Jail in seconds.

I loved my old miata for autocross, the only thing that i liked more was the civic si sedan as the weight ratio was 60/40 in it and it had more power than my little miata. I don't believe in going that fast on the street, i track my bikes dont even ride on the street at all on them cause I know myself and my love of full throttle on them.

I've had mine up to 125 and she wanted more just ran out of real estate. It is always a rush to get on the gas in these cars and just feel the power, nothing like it!
