If you have the RS package it's 155. I've seen it at 147. But it seems to either run out of steam or have to much drag to get any faster.

I dont know about the accuracy of my LS (most likely a bit off in the lower end) but I had my GPS with my Continental, since the speedo only goes to 120 (back when speedoes were pessimistic, and not optimistic like on most cars now lol)

What is the top speed on a stock 2014 Camaro v6?

Last time I dared to look down at the speedo I glimpsed 134 on my 2010 :-O #scaredycat

Sources I've seen around the net have it at around 142mph. Of course if your vehicle came from factory with 18" rims , the speed limiter is set at 118 mph.

See post #63 above. What you say is true, but is not the whole story.

I didn't take the time to read all the comments, so forgive me if this is a duplicate question. If my RS is governed at 155, what is the top speed without it governed? Just out of curiosity. (And, NO, I won't try to see how fast it will go).

In a totally stock car you probably will never find a long enough straight away to see 155 from a standing start. I suppose you could enter a very long straight away at say 60 MPH and perhaps push about 160 MPH, but you would have to be in 5th gear and hope there is no head wind.
