Low 160's in my '99 WS6 Trans Am, that was the drag limit for the car in my configuration. Really, anthing beyond 140-ish in that car wasn't very stable due to front aerodynamic problems (you could feel weight coming off the front and the steering getting looser), so I only got up in the 160's a couple of times to feel the limit.

^ got to 155 in my 4th gen ws6, and had the same issue. Felt very unsafe.

65-mph...it's illegal to break the posted speed limit, and I haven't found a 70-mph posting yet.

There are some parts of I-10 that are 80 mph in TX, although none of those parts are very close to Houston. The norm for most major TX highways when out of town is 70 day / 65 night (65/60 for truckers), but there are several that have 75 mph sections as well.

Nevada has a 75mph limit on interstates. God help you if the State Police catch you doing over 85.

One thing that was nice about the corvette club is they would throw a little money around and do things like (occasionally) buy out tracks for us to use. I forget how much we each had to pay, but it was totally worth it to get to stretch the car's legs.
