Yeah the 345hp C5 Vettes topped out at 177mph if I recall correctly. The V8's in the Trans Am and C5 produce more torque than the Z to go along with that hp so I think the Z aint gonna hit anywhere near 180mph. Not sure of the aero on the C5's but the 370z's .29 COD and 332hp should enable it to hit at "least" 165 to maybe 170mph with no limiter. Assuming the gearing and other variables are in place for that. my worthless 2cents
