I searched and I could not find any thing.
How fast have your driven your SS/SC?
Yesterday, I wanted to see how fast I could go, to the point of being scared, plus I needed to get off the next exit.. In a blink of an eye, I was doing 130+ MPH, I have not driven that fast since my Camaro. It was pretty cool and scary at the same time. Not going to do that any time soon either.

Did 145mph in my friends SS the other night. Only reason I didn't go faster was because of the state trooper I passed in the opposite direction. Thank goodness for backroads. Fun night though.

Well, in over 20 years of racing/driving performance cars I never once did a top speed run.
I was mostly interested in drag racing, but I was always able to know the top speed of any given vehicle just be reading a road test of them.
Most major automotive journals will report within 1 or 2 mph of each other a car's top speed.
Our stock SS/SC's will top out at in the low 140's with wind drag being the limiting factor (and not the rev limiter):

And there you go ...

It was done about 5:30am so nobody was on the road except for me.
I'll never do this again (I ****!!!!! My Pants). I suggest you take your car to a track to do something like this again. The fastest I had pushed my car since then was about 100mph just keeping up with traffic comming home from work on the I87.

I hit 157 mph then had to stop cause I couldnt handle the g/f screaming in my ear anymore so I dropped back down to cruising speed. I would never do a high speed pull in the middle of the night for the fact that I seen someone do that before and spun out and rolled there car cause a deer ran in the road
In alaska the sun doesn't go down during the summer so it's hard not to see any animals out. Cuz moose would **** up your car more than a deer....but again, it was bright as day so I was good to go.

**** you guys are crazy. I mean, I hit that 110 I said once but that was on a brand new on-ramp to the interstate that was about a half mile long with no way to cut me off and no one else on it. And I've never since gotten anywhere close to that.
