Could not agree more

 

My TA ran 13.3's w/me asleep at the wheel and 13.2 on street tires taking off very slow to prevent spinning.And it was stock .

Had there been a person in my car familiar with launching it " just 1.5 tenths better on my 60" My car would have rab a 12.9 fairly easy.

As far as the top speed these cars are govered around 160 but would have No problem pulling past that. The LT1 dont have as much power and I have old car and drivers rating its top speed as 160 governed and if the 275HP LT1 will do 160 the 330+ HP LS1 will run everybit of 170. But like pete says the wind will start holding it back a good amount at these speeds.

Not to mention I have done 147 pretty easy in my LT1 automaticbefore letting off.

 

C'mon, get it right man.....it was 11.97!!! (@ 118 mph.....I got that mag).

Wasn't it Evan Smith who also ran an '01 or '02 Z28 M6 to a 12.89 @ 108 or something like that?? And that WAS published in a magazine.

 

Yeah, I believe it was even published in a *gasp* Mustang magazine. It was in teh article comparing a 99 cobra, Bullitt, and a 01 Cobra. I used to be a big mustang freak before i sold my Notch.

 

Like I said, I've seen MOST of the tests, not all of them. I stand corrected.

 

aaaah...only a hundreth off
don't you know that my tolerance is +/- .01

thanks though for the correction

 

if the ls1's can go 160 what about like a 96 or 97 lt1 ss's top speed?
thanks

 

LT1's are also goverened at 160..I have old car and driver issues that for some reason say that a 94 formula is goverened at 155 and a TA is 160 .Both are 94's.

 

do you think they can reach 155 or 160?

 

How long does it take to get to 160mph, and how long to slow down (to about 60mph)

should you avoid hitting brakes at that fast?

 

Of course it could. Like I said , I have done 147 Before in an auto LT1. I could have gone faster fairly easy.

 

i thought i had hit the top speed in my 95, but my clutch was so gone. i was hitting the rev limiter in 6th and was just over the 150 mark....

wen the cltuch got replaced it pulled past that no prob.

and on another note, there were years that the stock lt1's didnt have speed limiters.

 

I am a police offficer in Florida and back in 1995 I got off work at 0300 hrs. A fellow officer and I decided to see what my 1994 Z28 could do and went on I-75. I was clocked on radar by the Florida Highway Patrol at 162 mph and bought a 4 day suspension w/o pay from my department. The only reason I wasn't arrested was because of "professional courtsey" and I was still in full uniform. The 3 lanes of I-75 felt like they were 2 feet wide and it took a LONG time to stop. I now own a 2002 Camaro SS Limited Edition with the SLP 345 HP package, but I WILL NOT repeat what I did with my Z-28. My advice to everyone out there is do it on a race track....That could have been my last day on this planet.....I got away lucky buying 4 days off!!

 

You are right, you wont be doing that again, you are in a LS1 . So lets see that done again!!! 4 days off, small price to pay to boast if you you ask me!

 

So you work for the local police dept., but it was the highway patrol that got you!?? Damn!
