the new Z should be able to hit between 175 and 185mph.

hell i remember the Z32 was tested and it's limiter was removed and it hit 170mph+.
i believe.
HIGHLY doubtful it will reach 185. MAYBE it might get to 170-175. My stock Trans Am put a LOT more power and torque down, weighed a hair over 3500 and was pretty aerodynamic for a muscle car. It'd get to about 180 before drag stopped it from pulling. We're talking at least 40HP and 90Lbs of torque more than the stock 370. Once the car got better gears and stuff, I was putting down about 15% more torque. Still limited to about 183. If I'd gotten the long-tubes, full exhaust, better intake and a tune, I may have gotten it to 190.
