Eh. It seems with the coefficient of drag of something in the mid-.30s, I'd say mid-160s. GM will probably put a limiter on it like they do with almost everything else.

My guess is the electronic speed limiter will be around 158 mph. That's where they put the limiter on the GTO's (which come with a 200 mph speedo).
The SS with 420hp should be good for about 165 mph (maybe 170 with a tail wind) with the speed limiter removed. But no matter where they put the limiter it can be tuned out. |

158? really? well that stinks, i only got one up to 131 but wasn't aware of a governor. they're quoted @ 175-180, and i've seen videos of 186.

Can someone tell me how to remove a governor if there is one on this beautiful piece of machinery? Because i feel that like the Vette this car should be allowed to run... i have the gov on my cavi... so you'll imagine how i'd feel about one on my Camaro...

Did you know that some of the LS1 Camaros were electronically limited to only 110-115 mph. They were the 4 speed automatic Camaros that came with the 2:73 gear ratio rear end and lower speed rated tires (touring tires). These Camaros were limited to around 110mph from the factory. But that was easily removed with tuning (Superchips, Hypertech, or custom tuning from a tuner). |

The top speed will be electronically controlled. It will be easily removed by tuning it out. I've had to tune out my speed limiter on my 94z28, 99z28, 05 GTO, and 06 GTO. |

And we can also adjust rev limiter, shift points, torque managment, etc once we get our hands on a tuner. And a good custom tune makes real nice increase in performance. |
