I don't find it hard to believe. I went 160 on the black rock desert and had more.

ditto steele11, speedos are off and I don't believe it on stock car, tires may be smaller making speed read higher....but anything can happen.

Click on the link there all stock, i been doing a lot of research and most stock coupe's be hitting 180+ and FRC/Z06 be running a little bit slower because of aerodynamics.

I don't find it hard to believe. It's all about aerodynamics. Coupes shouldn't have a problem hitting those speeds. This is especially true if you add in a CAI and free flowing catback. Top speed is where these add ons shine.
