Top Speed
I got my iroc up to 145 once. I dont really know for sure since my speedo only goes to 85. My buddy tim was in his Ta next to me and said i was doing 145 when he passed me in his lS1. Theres nothing like doing 150+ in a car... its just so sweet.
I think i remember reading about that somewhere but they had to quit because they kept throwing a belt at high rpm or somthing like that???
SERPENT99 didn't someone do 300 in a 3rd gen on the salt flats?

That was with a dedicated race car. 3rd gens are NOT dedicated race cars!

As an aside, in testing for the Indy 500, the stock TTA went over 170mph down the straight
As long as you're all talking top speeds, I like to invite you to a little get together we have from time to time.

You sure about the TTA hitting 170mph? How?

JK, I know TA's have astoundinly low drag coefficients but how much HP and at what RPM do they have?

Remember that they were underrated. I have a copy of a letter from PAS with 280rwhp and 380rwtq. Most numbers stated are 301 HP on the dyno which is about right with drivetrain losses.
