I've had my '86 to an indicated 155. It had an exhaust and thats it. 3.07 gears auto. Now, how fast I was actually going, i don't know. But part of me wants to believe the speedo is right at that speed, even though I know it's probably not.

I frequently get asked how fast mine is, my answer is simple: "I have no idea, I run out of guts before it does.".

While this thread is still around, can someone explain the inside joke floating around about a certain member claiming a special rear end ratio in their 96' that allows them a ridiculous top speed? I see it tossed around from time to time always wondered who it was aimed at.

It's just bs! The only special rear ends in the C4's were in the 90-95 LT-5's. (oh wait that was just the 385-405hp). The only stock C4's that could do over 175mph are the "kings".
