How fast have you taken your STOCK Z?

I actually got my Z doing 160 twice on my way back up from florida...... One of those runs was racing a pontiac GTO more than likely it was the 5.8 since I beat him with ease more than once lol....... Was fun...

Without a limiter or governor, how fast will the Z go? My top speed days are behind me (I'll be good. I almost promise).

I've heard that the aerodynamics won't allow it to go too much faster than the limiter. Maybe the 165/170 mark or so.

This. It'd probably run out of steam somewhere in the 160-170 mph range.

Probably around 170. It's got similar power to weight/aerodynamics as a C5 'vette.

I only drive the posted speed limits.

Ahem.. Cough, cough.

+140 mph at Pacific Raceways on the front straight. Only achievable by working through turns 9 and 10 "carefully". My avatar shows turn 9.
