Whats the fastest you have gone in your thirdgen?

135 MPH! BACK WHEN I WAS A DUMB TEENAGER

151 at the track of course

142 in my 97 on I-75

126 at the track... Did do about 120 on an empty highway once back when it had a 305.

163 mph and yes, i got pulled over. this was done on an open road 3am and the only cars on the road was me and my buddy oh and the state trooper i BLEW past! got a ticket for 99 mph and no registration and my car got impounded.
the trooper was very curious how my IROC was able to go that fast so of course before the tow truck came i showed it to him and 3 weeks later i was working on his T/A

I don't know..

My speedo only goes up to 110

I've gotten my iroc well past the 240km/h mark but the front end got very light so I immediatly let of the gas. This was done in the praries on an arrow straight strech of road.

65

Fast enough to sink the 145 speedo and turn slotted yellow line into single.

Going to find out the top speed of mine soon, when I have a license plate on it (imported car), I live 5 minutes from the German A31 autobahn, unlimited speeds there. Fastest I have ever driven was 305km/h or 190mph

i hit about 130 with my 305 and a 110 mph speedo the needle was resting on the trip reset button and it was still going the 130 is a estimate deff more then 120 this was done on I-81 At like 10:30 i was pissed so i went for a ride (stupid teenager mind) did that flying by a c6 vette lol

125-130 ish with the stock L98 top speed run, and then with the new 383 I went about 130 in the 1/4 mile with the nitrous. Trapped 126-127 but stayed in it for abit more. had to hit 130

^, yeah, what he said

6000 rpm
convertor locked
.7 to 1 overdrive
3.7 rear gear
26" tire
179 mph

Uh, my speedo goes to 999 but after about 200 I get scared even though the car assures me it's fine



Raf

You can hit 200 mph?

i would assume there is a little sarcasm/knightrider reference in that statement.

I don't have a speedo, just a tach. It likes the high 8k range.

yeah i wasnt sure, just checking

Yes, sarcasam... But after I get that supercharger installed, look out!

Raf

ditto cept mine was a slotted white ... but it was on a closed road no traffic with a paramedic cousin following in his vette just in case.. thats no consalation for what i was doing realize now it was pretty damn dumb... above 135 unless you good keeping control is no task.. stay away from that jazz

really i have no need to go super fast on the street , but if i am on the street and wanted to speed i would not take it over 70 i wanna be able to see whats going on around me but highway latenight i put it to 90 before it started vibrating little so i stopped

It was 105 and damn it takes a long time to get to town at 105, thanks to some wiring shcematics and a switch ive been to 115 and a lil more with my TBI 305...

I buried both my 3rd gens. The TTA was probably closer to 165 or so based on what the tach read. Still was pulling but ran out of room.

Being dumb in a caravan going to Memphis '01 with a bunch of F-Body's. A 4th gen pulled out and did a run, so I had to do one also. There's a video of it somewhere out there

My speedo goes upto 85...So that's max for me.

135 in my bird and 140 in my maro

4 mph backward off of the trailer being pushed off of it. lol havent ever drove it yet.

Heres the link to my vid. Stupid speedometer only goes up to 85 mph.

So far it has done 140mph in the 1/4, but I'm looking to make that more like 160 for next season.

88mph...

had my 91 r/s l98 car up to 267km on gps it was smooth but the again sub frames,umi torque arm,panhard,and rear control arms.helps alot

104 at the track,

im sure ive done 130+ on the highway in the car




156 on my fz6 that was interesting lol

165mph on the dyno 83mph on the autocross track. never had a street legal third gen

fasted ive done was 130-135 mph on a straight away i knew about on a back road...

TTA 1387 can u find that video? i would love to see that

You'll have to ask Andris Skulte if he still has it. We were in the middle of it passing his Durango R/T with him out the window. If its out there anymore, he would have it.

ive been only to 143mph(GPS said so....yay)


then i lifted the gas petal and motor blew up from the strain.....old worn out LG4's dont like 5k plus

i had just put intake/carb/and headers on it too lol

passed a line of 4 large vehicles and got up to right at 125 before getting back in my lane. road was 70mph and they were going muuuch closer to 55 and i had a good mile or two of clear road ahead of them

and that was with my semi-lg4 305......soon to be "lg350" lol

bout 30 with the 2.8. I got it when i was 14 and my dad would let me drive it through the neighborhood lol we took that out before i turned 16 so i havent driven it with the tt350 yet

My first camaro the 85 ZF (305 / 700r4) I went about 55 mph. The trans was slipping when I bought it so it didn't go any faster than that.

update....the 92 trans am has set new personal best....

55mph!!!!!!!!!!! on the way home getting towed on car doly it reached the amazing speed of 55mph

in mean time, my 85 t/a has hit 130 once again thanks to tired bolt on lg4

My second Camaro was a '91 RS and I had been doing burnouts on an abandoned road in the afternoon and just let here go did about a 150 foot mark on my one wheel peel then continued to step on the ****ing gas till the road ended I only got up till 120mph and almost went of the road (god bless disk brakes).

i took mine just over 170 on a highway at 1am. i had two spotters take off well ahead of me. and one stick behind me. since then i have heavily modified my camaro. id love to see what its capable of.

Got just shy of 205 in a heavily modified '89 IROC.

yah KPH maybe

gale banks tt car went something like 210.....

http://racingarticles.com/article_racing-21.html

hit 100mph in mine. i was headed home from work, hit the on ramp and wanted to see what happened when i floored it. car pulled like hell until about 90 with the little 305 tpi. after that it was hell to climb to triple digits. after i got there i let off, just wanted to have a little fun in my car since i just got back from iraq.

96mph because of the speed limiter and the fact that i ave not changed my drive/driven gears, 111mph when i flip a little switch i have but i dont go any faster untill i get a more accurate tach, mines way off and at 111mph im "technically" redlining the engine like crazy lol.

Just how heavily modified? It's going to take over 600hp or so to do that. Along with the right gearing and rpm range.

Wow, toyota h8r, didn't realize you were a F-body h8r too, LOL!

Yes that was almost 205mph, and no I am not joking. My cousin's best friend's family owned a machine shop that did custom machine work and fabrication for WRC race teams, and a lot of the work was performed in that shop. The Iroc was a bone stock 1989 350 TPI 5-speed car when I got it in late 1998 with a mere 35,000 miles on the clock. Heavily modified means: The engine was bored, stroked, balanced and blueprinted. Forged crank, H-beam rods, main girdles, forged 12.:1 pistons. Camshaft was a custom grind for the engine design and had a full roller valvetrain. Heads were World Products that were also ported, polished, and had enlarged and custom ground valves. The intake was a combination of aftermarket parts and heavily altered factory parts. A home built (well actually shop built) DIS ignition system was used along with a stand alone type ECM system, basically a laptop computer ran the car. It also had a Paxton supercharger running around 14 pounds of boost and a direct port nitrous injection system.

The transmission was a t-56 from a rolled 1998 Z28 (no the LS1 didn't survive the crash) that was re-geared and cold treated to withstand the application. The clutch was a dual plate hydraulic assist design, and the rear was a GM 12-bolt with Superior axles, Eaton differential components, and 4.11:1 gears.

The chassis and suspension were a mix of production aftermarket components and some custom fabricated tubular components, largely because there simply was not as much available for these cars then as there is now. Had a hydraulic assist Baer brake system, (yes there really is such thing, some vehicles came that way from the factory).

On the Dyno the IROC would pull roughly 785 HP and 850 ft-lbs of torque. The Nitrous hit was tuned to 250 HP, so yes it had plenty of power to hit 200. I ran it on the 1/4 mile in Pamona several times and it consistantly would run 8.8 at around 186 mph with drag radials, and with track tires on it could pull 1.3 g's on a skidpad (all your italian and other supercars are only at best good for .9 g's).

Unfortunately I have to use terms like "roughly" because I sold this car back in early 2000 and all of the timeslips and "paper proof" went with the car. But to give you an idea, I paid $5,000 cash for the car, and sold it for $28,500. Heavily modified truely means HEAVILY MODIFIED. BTW, this car was also my daily driver, that's the beauty of programable engine management. Didn't hurt that gas was also $.95 per gallon in southern California at that time.

143 on the 400 blowing the doors off a boosted integra. 8.10 in the 1/8 mile
