I think float will depend on how level the surface is.
Went 158 mph a while back (pre- front splitter) and my Camaro SS was very stable. But I was on a perfectly flat surface (old military airport runway). |

To me, standing on it for a full mile is amazing... These cars wind up so quickly... The quarter is fun, but being able to stand on it and just keep going is unreal... This march I was at about 180 between the 1/3rd and 1/2 mile, headed for 220+... dang turbo just up and quit on me... scattered pieces all over... The guys at the start line said they saw a big show of sparks and that was the end of that run.... Here is a bit of the carnage... http://www.camaro5.com/forums/attach...6&d=1363985082 http://www.camaro5.com/forums/attach...6&d=1364018619 And a few pics of the pass... http://www.camaro5.com/forums/attach...1&d=1364147319 http://www.camaro5.com/forums/attach...1&d=1364147319 http://www.camaro5.com/forums/attach...1&d=1364147319 http://www.camaro5.com/forums/attach...1&d=1364147319 http://www.camaro5.com/forums/attach...1&d=1364147319 http://www.camaro5.com/forums/attach...1&d=1364148025 http://www.camaro5.com/forums/attach...1&d=1364148025 http://www.camaro5.com/forums/attach...1&d=1364148025

Have had my SS up to 141 mph. Felt fairly stable. Been 151 mph in a stock car at a Nascar Driving Experience at Chicagoland Speedway. That's the fastest I've ever drove.

Yeah, i know what you mean about standing in it.......somewhat.I did a couple high speed runs in my 2011 1LTRS,but this 1LE is in a different league,just as you are. That must be so freaking cool to be heading for 200+ |

We are starting over with bigger turbos, 76/75's with a mid frame center section, and an "H" cover. Should make as much power with less effort... Which of course will lead me to turn it up a bit more... I would be happy managing a 0 - 240 pass in the standing mile... Standing start, one mile, hit 240 mph... Oh yeah... I'll keep trying until then... Like I said earlier, if it was easy, everyone would do it...
