155 or 160 mph... Just like stock.

I believe these are drag limited top speeds but I'm not sure which one is accurate.

Drag limited means you cant go any faster due to drag on the car from wind

you can only go as fast as your transmission allows and your engine can put out

Pretty sure I got to about 254-255 stock and 257-258 km/hr with gms1. Wind is a huge factor. I only have maxed my car a few times as its really dangerous lol...

well technically I think the car would go faster but it runs out of oomph pushing itself though the air at like 160 or so...

but as you create more power you can still go faster. the higher the horsepower the faster you can go.

Idk is the limited top speed something that gets eliminated with a tune? something you specify for? i wonder if the stage kits you can buy remove them by default or whaaa...

Yes but it takes a big increase in power to make a small increase in drag limited top speed.
