Default Top Speed?

Anyone know the top speed of a stock 94 Coupe LT1 (w/auto)? And 0-60 and 1/4 mile times? Thx...

With much depending on the driver/launch/tires/weather, i believe you can possibly hit the upper 12's with a mostly stock 94. I'm sure i will be corrected if i'm wrong about that. I believe my 93 is supposed to have a 5.7 sec 0-60 time. Not sure about the 94. I would think it'd be pretty much the same.

Just ask Mr. Mojo, i believe he's ran in the upper 12's with mostly stock.

0-60 low-mid 5's. 1/4 mile mid-high 13's and top speed 160-165 MPH. All of these figures depend on variables such as traction, weather conditions, etc. so that is why I'm giving you a range.

I've kept 2 or 3 magazine articles (R&T and MT I think) that showed top speed was around 170. One mag showed 169, one showed 172.

Throw all that out the window depending on variables at the time.

with admiral94. Generally speaking, those are the times/speeds you should see.

my 93 ran 13.64-13.8, I'm sure a better driver could coax a little more out. It dynoed at 267 RWHP

I, too, agree with the Admiral.

(Car and Driver tested the Grand Sport in 1996 and it hit 169mph just shy of redline in fifth. That's an LT4.

The LT1 will be just a bit slower....)

Don't forget rear gear ratio. That will make 1/4 mile times higher or lower and vise versa to top end.
