Prob a stupid question but, what is the top speed of stock camaros. I heard somewhere that all camaros were governed at 120. Is this true, I have a 02 SS stock. Thanks.

Well I've personally taken my 02 SS to 160mph I did hear somewhere that the Z28 is governed at 115 120 or somewhere around there.

It really depends on what tires the car was orinally ordered with. Cars with Z rated tires (like your SS) have no governor

The early modled LT1's were governed at 108, but only if you didn't order the car with Z rated tires from the factory(as was already stated in this thread). If the car was ordered with the Z rated tires, there is no governor. If you purchase the Hypertech PowerProgrammer, or get your PCM tuned, you can have the governor removed.

i had a 96 lt1 i have gone 160 with more to go it was an interceptor but i think that meant it had a bigger alternator and maybe stiffer suspension with z rated tires but it might have been because it was a cop car that i could go that speed i am not sure that was with 3:73 gears
