Re: LT4 QUESTION (Voltech_LT4)
I believe Car & Driver mag did a test of a '96 Grand Sport Coupe. If my memory is accurate they got it up to 168, or calculated that as top end. Sounds about right.

Re: LT4 QUESTION (Bluewasp)
180 or so is what Ive heard, that sounds right. I know it will surpass the S4 Porsche which does around 168 if I remember right. In any case, very impressive! It doesnt take long either to get there. I remember when I used to have my 86 coupe it would only do 140mph, must have had some kind of limiter back then...
