top speed

what's average top speed on a stock camaro z28/v6/etc.? and what's top speed on a modified?

I've had mine up to 145 mph, but I've never pegged the speedo. That would be fun, but no roads with enough room around here...

ive heard even though the speedo goes 150 it can go 160!well dont try to start an arguement plz but this is just what i heard....

i got a '03 camaro and it says it tops out at 145... but i modified it up really nice and my friend clocked me goin 190 in it! its pretty nice if i can get a nice picture of it i will post it up

Chevyman03- Your so full of crap its not funny, first off.. there is not even a 2003 camaro out. So there is the first lie, second ill bet that the newest 2002 F-body has a govenor so it means it shuts off at a certain MPH, Third 190MPH is just total BS!!!!!!! How was it that your friend clocked you, Never been able to see a car go 190mph as a street car, Unless you show me a video CLEAR AND CLEAN of the Odometer and another one with a speed gun I think you are so full of BS up to your eye lids you cant tell who your BS'ing cuz its not working with me! :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :newbie: :bs:

If you hadn't flamed him, I would have :lol: :rofl: :eek7:

good call out on the 03 idiot...i know i cant compete with you v8 guys but ive got my 3.4 up to 105 and waw still goin up til the detector went off and i had to get on the brakes.

yea the exotic strret cars like lamborghini can go 205mph or more, but anyways you can get a s/ced lingenfelter camaro i heard and the 0-60 2sec and 1/4th mile at like 150 and top around 190 or 200 but anyways camaroman03 is just a gay honda fan :evillol:

it went past 105 stock? me and my friend are havin an argument over whose camaro is faster... i got a 3.4l '94 camaro, and he has a 5.0l h.o. 84' camaro 5 speed... u think i got a chance to beat him stock? i mean i told him that shits gonna fall apart when he hits 70..(20 yr old car), and his speedometer says 85. i am planning to swap the engine.. but in the spring.. and i want to beat him now

thats not cool i have a 85 belintina with a 350 and the speedo goes to 85 and ive had it back around to 20 it didnt fall apart,i dunno exactly how fast that is, i dunno he might get you, i dunno much about the new camaros, but if his is bone stock it cant be all that fast.

sorry man, didnt mean to offend ur camaro. but he has a v8 h.o. with i think like 290hp... i dont get why the speedo says 85 tho. maybe thats to fool insurance or somethin

its cool i dont care

wat a dumbass... i bet u he feelin really stupid right bout now... but my 'vette will easily hit 190... i went all out on it... i will post a pic of it here soon

I got my 2001 3.8 to peg the speedo heading down to vegas. 127 I think it is. Thing handled it like a dream. I raced my buddy in his '90 RS. Little less than a 1/4 mile and i had him by 3 car lengths, and I didn't even have it to the floor.

wat a dumbass... i bet u he feelin really stupid right bout now... but my 'vette will easily hit 190... i went all out on it... i will post a pic of it here soon

Doubtful :disappoin :rolleyes:

190 in any f body with stock suspension would be scurrry. BTW my 80 only goes to 85mph..1st year for 85mph speedo..reason was for insruance purposes and to keep people conserving gas which doesnt make sense.

pretty sure a vette can hit 190, an LPE vette tops at 230, and the "aerodynamical top speed" of a vette is 170, so the suicidle top speed is probibly between 180-190. Though as to the top speed of a camaro, I have a video of someone doing well beyond pegging the poor thing but, who knows, maybe the speedo is off. only 1 way to find out and I dont have the balls to get pulled over going 100 over the speed limit. Pulled over is a relitive term at that speed.

That was my point, not if it could do it, but where it could do it. 190 is no small speed...

190 MPH is attainable in a Vette or F-Body - depends which gears you're running and if you have enough horsepower to keep you moving.

A stock '85 or '86 Vette would have no chance of hitting 190 even with the talllest gears - unless it had a highly modified stock engine or a crate engine dropped into it.

An LS1 F-body with tall gears (kiss your ET's goodbye) and a few bolt-on's I bet could get up to around 170 Mph with little problem.

My automatic LT1 Z28 with 2.93's hits 150 Mph at 6000 RPM in third gear - just as fourth gear kicks in. She still pulls no problem in fourth, and although I've only been able to keep it in fourth for a few seconds after that, if I had enough road and HP to get it up to 6000 in fourth I bet I'd have her up around 180Mph, 190+ Mph maybe, who knows.

my friend got his 88 camaro with a 305 to top out at 93 MPH one time. we were flying man. it was awsome, and cool! i'll keep ya posted buddy's

I've had Thumper buzzing the high 170's in the Silver State Classic twice. It freaks you out when the side glass seals get pulled out doing 150+ in a third gen car. It sucks the air out of the car!

does the camaro have one of those governor things in it that shuts it off at like 190 or somethin like that? im talkin about z28's and SS's

wow 93mph....omg my 95' z28 goes 95 regular on highways :P the fastest that we ALMOST got so f***ing clos to being causght was like 130mph :evillol:

yes it does...and it is well below 190

yes it does...and it is well below 190

what is the limit?, can you remove it?, how much does it cost(if you can)?

Reprogram the computer...

I believe that the top speed for ls1 camaros is 163mph in 5th gear. I had my old lt1 to about 145 and it was still pulling HARD with just exhaust. I never did top out my ls1 before the gears because I was too scared!! :uhoh:

whoa u guys went all out on this post... shame my pussy ass v6 will never hit those speeds... i got an offer for $4k on my camaro but i think i can sell it for 5, do u think i can get a 4th generation z28 for that much?

UHHH... i don't see the big deal here. You guys talk about how fast 95 m/h is. I am 16 just bought my camaro it is a 1994 camaro z28 with a 350 LT1. I haven't maxed it out yet but in fourth gear at 4500 rpm it will do 143 m/h. And yes stalk corvettes can do 190m/h. My father had some friends sweep a road for him so he could clock his 73' corvette. WITHOUT the peddle being on the floor it would do 186 m/h. Just my dad got chicken shit and backed off the gas....which i don't blame him for. But honestly on the way to work i can do 170km/h the whole way till i hit town. 170km/h i think works out to about 100m/h so i don't see what the big deal is.

I have a V-6, anyways, I had the computer reprogrammed by fast chips, and some other mods, to many to list, anyways, it took a while...but I would have topped out another mile or to faster.

i dont think a camaro will ever hit 190 no matter what the horse power is because gear ratio's will probably stop my 83 z28 at 140 in 4th gear (i only have 4) that is if i had a speedometer thats bigger that 85mph...ive rev'd out my 350 w/o any mod's on an open interstate and i dont think i got anywhere close to 190....so i doubt any camaro will hit 190

But honestly on the way to work i can do 170km/h the whole way till i hit town.
where the hell do you work? germany?

Man some of you guys have some crazy speeds here. Some of these speeds I can't beleve. Also some of the comments like "At 145 and still pulling hard in overdrive (4th Gear). Do you guys know what a hard pulling car is??? My car will do an 11.81 in the 1/4 mile and it dynos a litte shy of 475 HP. My car is a dog in overdrive I had my GN up to 164 according to my scanmaster. (for thoes that don't know what that is it is a scantool that reads all sorts of sensors including the speed sensor.) and it used overdrive and it took a long ass time to get there. car was driving like a dream untill I tried to slow down. A big G-body car going that fast does not like to slow down at all :smokin: .


BTW that was with 27 inch tall tires and a 3.42 stock gear raito

hypsi87 u gotta realize some of these people lie to make there cars seem the best, all my 83 has is straight pipes and i doubt mine will hit 140

im sorry but i would have to see a corvette do 190 to believe it...
p.s. - its stock not stalk...you're referring to the car being factory, not to being a vegetable.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :lol2: :lol2: heheh I usually do not make fun of peoples spelling because I can't spell for crap but that was funny :lol:

Hypsi87 u are right. It was not pulling hard but it still had some to pull. Just meant that in a statement. But yes i am runnin some ponies under that hood with avon zz-1 tires i have enough power to spin the back tires at 80km/h. And whoever it was that picked up on my spelling mistake, good job but u must have too much time on your hands if you are proof readin this stuff. Also i live in B.C. Canada and the road to work is two lanes wide and is set up nicely in the turns. It's just driving the same road everyday you can learn the tricks to driving it not fast but quick. Differance is fast gets you killed and quick gets you there fast.

i agree with the difference between fast and quick...and the spell check is not a matter of time, its a matter of intelligence...it was just a funny observation, i didnt mean anything by it and i apologize

i failed english...

btw i thought this was about CAMARO TOP SPEED, as its in the CAMARO section, so get ur fuckin corvettes outta here. lol

Can I stay???? :confused:

no you cant...no shit you can he meant your talking about corvette stuff outta here

It was a joke sorry I did not put the correct smiliey

hey man.... i honestly would have to say that that my 99 z28 is still pulling pretty hard considering the speed in 5th gear.... it feels solid right up to 145( which is the fastest that i have had it being im a chickensh*t). these cars are really made to haul ass on top.... they are almost no different than the vette power wise.... and are actually under-rated at 305 hp. my car stock dynoed over 320rwp. this is not an add for a site, i just happened to stumble onto it. got to www.badassride.com and click on the camaro movie and you will see exactly how good the car accelerates from beginning to end.

Hi all. I have a v6 camaro I bought from a man who's son couldnt drive it anymore. It's had some mods done to it but the guy didn't know just what. I know exhaust and a few other things but nothing major that I'm aware of and I've had it up to 120mph. It was, I think, just about out of hp to go any further maybe 125-126mph at most.

I guess it depends on what you call pulling hard

From what i've heard the 2002 B4C Camaro Z28 has a 149 Govener. But i found these Images. The first one is an LS1, the second one is an LT1. I also have a (had :() video of a twin turbo LS1 doing 170 on the freeway before it almost slammed into the back of an F-150 getting on the freeway. (But from what i've heard, the guy parted out his TT SS on ebay..?)

did anyone look at that site that i mentioned? i guess you couldnt say that it pulls extremely hard up there..... but the acceleration continues pretty consistantly until the car in the video shuts down. and the pics of the ls1 speedo in the posting previous to mine must have had a ring gear mod. my rpms are not quite that high at 150. might be 3.73's as opposed to the stock 3.42.

While I agree that 03's 03 camaro story is bull shit, it is possible to get up to 190 if your car can handle it. The governer in our camaros and vettes are in the ecu, most aftermarket chips take care of that problem. While I myself have not made it past 150 with out wanting to piss myself, I was still getting on it. You just need some good hp at some good rpm's a steardy tranny and 3.08 gears. It can be done, but can it be proved?????? I don't know anyone with a gun.

Z28's Stock rumored 159....thats high enough for me until i hit the drag strips... but i will do some stuff for better performance/milage(cool air intake and such)

Also its not all how fast you can get going its also how long it takes to get there

---------------------------------------------------------------------
i know i mentioned it before, but im gonna do it again for anyone who missed it. www.badassride.com --- and look for the video of the camaro , firebird, and vette and . you have to be impressed with how fast these cars get to their limiter. and these cars seem to be pretty stock-- let me know what you guys think . and 159 seems right. and those pics of the car near 6000 at 150 are definitely with a 3.73 or higher.... so with a stock 3.42 you still have more.... i have a link if anyone wants it to a site that has a gear ratio calculator just for 6 speed gms.

The V6's govern at 118 mph....meaning the 3.4's and the 3.8's....Shops have a legal obligation to deny a possibility of removing the limiter....but if you have acess to a tech II and have a little knowledge of how they work, with the correct process from their tech junkies, you can reprogram the governor to unreachable speeds like 300 mph, that way you never reach it. The easiest way to disable your governor is to unplug your speed sensor (top of rear end axle housing), however, you will have no idea of how fast you are going.

As for the V8's, many of them are governed at 125, the rest SS's, TA's etc with the right ECM governed at 149. The police cars came with out a governor, the fuel cut off isn't even programmed into the ECM, only the rev limiter to avoid throwing rods. with factory 2.63 gears, they maxed out at a hair over 160. They would hardly power break.

what's average top speed on a stock camaro z28/v6/etc.? and what's top speed on a modified?

I have owned 3 generations of Camaros.

1995 3.4L Rally Sport - 110 mph - Gov Limited (Again very stable like the 84 Z28)

1984 Z28 5.0 H.O. 134 - mph (felt very stable at this speed)

1976 Rally Sport 305 - 124 mph (Car felt like it was going to lift off the road) It really made me appriecate the aerodynamic down forces designed into the 1984 Z28)


My comment on taking out 190 MPH.

It is all about the wind resistance when you are talking these speeds.
Wind resistance goes up at a no linear rate to speed.
It takes around 500-700 horsepower to push an F-body car to these speeds no matter how tall the gears.

From what i've heard the 2002 B4C Camaro Z28 has a 149 Govener. But i found these Images. The first one is an LS1, the second one is an LT1.

hey, at the end of the video does the guy say "i got that shit dead on the speedo and the tach dude" if so i got and, but he wrecked it?? i didnt know that how bad was it

Here's how I hit 175+ in my '89...
530 hp long-rod 350
T-56 transmission
3.42 gears
short front springs (750lb/in)
air dam extension
x-rayed & shaved Goodyear F1's
completely sealed nose (taped hood, fender, and grill gaps)
headlight covers
and camber-heavy alignment with 1/64" toe

Even with all this I only hit about 180 tops, so your 700 hp statement is pretty damn close and the T-56 is great when it's been re-geared, but mine isn't. Without all the above prep-work Thumper may have topped-out at 165. Even with all the aero "tricks", driving the car at 165+ still felt like walking a tightrope as it takes 2 full lanes if there is even 1/10-inch rise in the road crown. I've retired myself from that lunacy after doing it and watching others nearly die doing it.

I haven't had it up there, what will mine top out at stock??
THe last time that i tried, i blew by a cop going 75 in a 50. Luckly he was going the other direction and didn;t turn around. He was between 2 cars. Scared the crap out of me though. Sad thing is... it was on a old 2 lane highway that doesn't have much traffic!

ha, i was riding with a dumbass in a 3rd gen camaro one time and he was doing atleast 120 when we blew by a cop. the cop's brake lights came on and he pulled a u-turn in the highway. needless to say, the cop didn't catch us because we then pegged and bent the speedo needle for the next 28 miles! have no clue how fast we were going but i think when the needle hits the trip OD reset button your doing 125-130.

haha my needle keeps going, ive had it back around about 25

the fastest ive had my 00 ss is 130.

you know ive noticed something, after you
run a car 100-140 mph after wards it seems
to have lost some of its power.

If your car came w/ z-rated tires, don't they take off the limiter??
