I don't understand why a lot of LT1 Vette owners have a low top speed...

I'm probably missing something obvious, but my 97 LT1 Trans Am topped out around 170... is this really rare or something? I have no idea what kind of gears it had, pretty sure it was stock, but I'd like to think an LT1 Vette would beat that. My 1/4 mile was 14.1 @ 98 mph (stock cept 160 stat and small small small shift kit), maybe I had high gears?
