Re: topspeed?
Although the top speed is set to about 110-115 Mph, it's easy to disconnect the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) from the ECM. The top speed will then rise signifficantly. It should then be capable of doin' 160+ MPH. lol this can't be true

I hope you don't live near any other living beings. Somebody who is obsessed with top speed is a darwin award waiting to happen.

are you on drugs. i was only asking what it was from stock. the 160mph comment was not from me it was from the the link above. i don't care about going fast i just wanted to know what it was. it seems when you say any thing about speed people like 58mark get all pissy.

Please God give this sixteen year old a Geo Metro.
My Firebird's speedo tops at 140, that give you an idea? If both of my 5000+ pound plus Broncos can wrap the needle to 110 the Camaro is plenty fast. You'll crash the car before your seventeenth B-Day. Not dissing, just a simple fact.

Re: topspeed?
Especially in your small UK streets. It's not as fast as you think however. I almost cried troll.

Re: topspeed?
speeding is one thing (and stupid enough) but top speed kills. you don't survive those accidents. If graphtea had been testing top speed, the only thread about him would be an RIP thread

Re: topspeed?
I liked it for the total lack of any actual information or logical thought! 
IIRC the speed limiter was based on what tires you got, IROC, ect. with the 245 tires was unlimited, the lower models were limited to 110. So there's your answer.
There are plenty of roads to drive fast in Europe, some legally.

Let's see, should I: 1) purge this thread of non-tech content; or 1) just lock it?
I think I'll take Door #2.
