It's most likely a matter of time before anything has happened.

I've heard of V6 Camaro's having issues exceeding past the limit GM put out on it in stock form.

Even SS's, GT's, etc. have had issues with very high speeds like that.

140 and 155 are completely different speeds. The amount of force against the car and load on the drivetrain is increase tremendously between those speeds. Last I checked, the V6 Camaro could not go past 120 without a retune/reflash to remove the factory limiter.
