v6 top speed - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

155 mph!!!!!

According to the Motor Trend mag I was reading today, it is ELECTRONICLY LIMITED TO 155mph. If you remove the limiter........ who knows? 160? 170?

Imagine what the SS would do! Well, the speedo on the SS does go up to 180.
Heres the article:http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...ive/index.html

BTW the Mustang GT's top speed is about 145

ShnOmac · 10-08-2008, 08:09 PM

Maybe if we all chipped in we could rent Talladega for "testing".......

ucla1ove3 · 10-08-2008, 08:16 PM

lol so im guessing it's illegal to remove the electronic limiter?

xsoutherngun89x · 10-08-2008, 08:20 PM

no, not at all. its just something the factories install so they dont have to put crazy speed rated expensive tires on. helps em save money. and it kinda keeps fools from lowering the population(ones that do it in traffic, not normal guys like us). wont be long before sct and all the other tuning companies crack the camaros comp
