Stock tires are rated to 130 and the stock limiter is 129

I have seen it with my own two eyes in HPT

But quick thoughts says 247 is close to 130mph

Not even close!




157 MPH

Yeah ok...in your wildest dreams buddy

I had an 06 with a tune, #32 injectors, CAI, header, dp, cat back and it wouldn't do over 130 without MILES and MILES of extra road.

So, take your lies somewhere else

150+ and you still have your license, yeah ok, then you woke up.

You are not doing 150 on the stock tune troll.

Sorry, GM tune won't allow it.

It would cut off fuel at 129 MPH, or about 210 KMH.


You better be talking about a 60* grade or something

well if it makes you feel any better i had to buy new tires 2 weeks after that, because the factory tires were pretty much falling apart.

other then that, whatever man, im not here to argue about it, i know my car was going that fast at some point down the mountain. But yes on a flat surface i totally agree with you. i had a 15km.hr straightline decent
