Heh, I hit 110mph in my 03' spectra ( governed ), it probably took 1:30sec or so to hit it, you won't catch me doing that ever again, talk about scary sh*t, and with no brakes, LOL!

I hit about 95mph in my blazer (00 4X4 4dr) and while it still felt fine I have no urge to go faster.

I have been somewhere in the 120mph range in my blazer. You can find a used hypertech programmer on ebay for around 150 bucks. With it you can change your top speed limiter to 128mph.

I live in the middle of nowhere and this was on a straight stretch miles long. My friend in front of me had a v6 mustang that cuts out at 120mph. If i hadnt run out of road I could of went around him. My blazer still had a little more left to.

I know this was not smart at all but I had to try it once.

Camaros/Firebirds were governed at 126MPH

Thats depends on what tires they were equipped with from the factory. Z/28s with z rated tires and SSs have no limiter.
Nope they are 162.

Then that was a factory freak, because the F-bodies were always angry that the W-Bodies (family platform, pretty much) was only 2MPH slower from factory, excluding the z28/ss models, THOSE may have been governed at 162mph. All other tires were NOT rated for that speed, and were governed according to the tire capability.

I was to that speed behind the wheel of only one f-body and I many more as passanger. I concider myself very knowladgeable on the 4th gen V8 f-bodies mainly 98+. The speedo only goes to 155. The speedo stops there and the tach keeps going. I know the speedo is off at those speeds but its not 35mph off. I know for a fact with absolutely 100% certainty that the 98+ V8 F-bodies were limited to 162. Below is a site if you dont beleive me, also troll around ls1tech.com for a little bit. Im talking about 98+ V8 6 speed Fbody I could really care less about the V6 model.

Ok, I love my 1995 blazer 4.3L stock. I have had my speeds above 100mph it happened while running the AC. I was clocked from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Dept at 110mph, I was on a main route, racing my friends (lol), Since then nothing but troubles from my engine!!!!!Wont do it ever again. It was fun, and yes I did beat 2Honda's with summit racing chips in them..lol...Gotta love that Blazer!!!
