I have my speed limiter set to 80. I can't really afford to pay for more than a 10 over speeding ticket.
I've done just over 150 in the wife's Z with the T-tops off a couple of times. But that was in Germany, so I didn't have to worry about speeding tickets. It was stock, except the free airbox mod and Flowmaster cat-back.

Technically you should be able to calculate it based on the redline RPM and your gear ratios / final drive ratio, and tire size, but I've never done the calculations. Different tranny's have different gear ratios and I don't think the V-6s all had the same trannys all years sold.
In any event if you've got the Y87 package as I do, it includes a higher ratio rear end, which will drop your top end speed at redline. Still, I've run up against the speed limiter at around 118-120 mph and still had a ways to go to redline. I'd very roughly estimate that my 2001 V-6 A4 with the Y87 package and the Goodyears it came with would hit redline at around 130-133 mph. But I wouldn't want to go there on those tires since they aren't rated for that speed.
So that's two strikes against the Y87s - you can only go about 130-135 mph max, and you go through tires like crazy 'cause they're always spinning.
Theoretically, 3.42s stop at 256. Its not the gears fault, its the engine. It doesn't have enough power
then you have to add in the fact that our cars WONT go anywhere near that fast with a stock exteror. drag limitation ftl.

V6 or V8? Theoretically 3.42s top out at like 256 mph
254mph is for the V8 with 6speed T-56 manual...it will never see that speed though - unless you give it ~1000hp and equal amount of torque. The 3.23 rear end with T-5 transmission is geared to 197mph top end with stock tire rolling diameter. A 3.42 rear end with T-5 has a lower theoretical top speed, which is 186mph. But a V6 Camaro will never see those speeds unless engine power output is severely increased...
256mph is way off. The 3.23 rear end with T-5 transmission is geared to 197mph top end with stock tire rolling diameter. A 3.42 rear end has a lower theoretical top speed, which is 186mph. But a V6 Camaro will never see those speeds unless engine power output is severely increased...
256 is not way off. I was doing it for the t-56 SIX speed. Thats why i asked when i first stated it "V6 or V8?"

you guys do realize, that the reason for these speed limiters is mainly do to the speed rating of tires. They are set at those limits because it is unsafe for the tires to be going that fast, they could just come apart.
hence why some z28s not equiped with Z-rated tires have the same speed limiter as v6s.
unless you all have Zrated tires I woudl be careful. Because most wrecks above 80, no one survives.
Do it once, then stop, I want you guys to get into lowspeed wrecks so their are more salvageable parts when you total your car.
I have Z rated tires and the governor removed, but I still dont want to go 120+ mph. Way too much work into my car to wreck it now. And as DAS BOOT said, not too many have survived an 80+ mph crash that wasnt in a racecar.
Hey guys. For starters I’ve always been a big car guy, I love all types of cars and can appreciate all types of engineering. I’ve always been a Chevy...
Hello every one, ozzy here ive been looking at this page for weeks now finally joined. So my question is why is it that every turbo build forum just ends...
