How fast?
Just curious, what is the top speed you have gone in your C4. I've had my 1995 coupe 18 months, rebuild the LT1 16 months ago, and have gone 125 for about a mile, ran out of road, but will be making some speed runs in it shortly.

my stock 1988 L98 gets to 120mph so fast i think im only doing 90 or 100. at 120 it feels like its just getting started. ive had mine to 143 and still feels like its gaining speed fast with no end in sight. of course i do this on my own personal race track! LOL

i was coming home with a friend one night and i accidently was going about 95 in a 55, i started to slow down but the girl that i was with laughed ad said "what is that all that this car can do" so i pushed it up to about 135 then cruised for a minute before slowing back down to 60. it still had plenty left at 135. of course i take the local racetrack from the movies to my home.

my friend owns a private road closed down. Here in VA, out in the boondocks. Got my lt1 up to 135 but with my suspension tire problems car shook like it was on speed bumps. To compare he got his 81 up to about 92 roughly cant tell stops at 80 on the speedo. 
What ever the speed limit is posted....would not want to break the law, but hypothetically 140 mph
