Not sure how many valuable responses you will get from a question like that. I am sure there are some TurboBuicks guys that will stab it until it can go no faster, but generally *I Think* this crowd will be a little more mature and realize that it's probably not a good idea, let alone safe in a car like this. It's shaped like a brick, has 14year old shocks and was never designed with "Top Speed" in mind. Combine that with a 400hp torque monster motor on race gas, and I guess it will go 150+, before the front end lifts and the car careens out of control. Seriously though..

I bet someone can tell us the MAX MPH in 4th gear lockup, at 5200RPM, with 26.5" tires. Scottie, you out there???
