2010 Camaro - How Fast Have you Gone in your 2010 Camaro??

as the topic notes... also are these cars electronic governed??

now I know the risk of traveling at high speeds on public road and its very unsafe to do so, but we all have the need for speed. Im not here to get anyone in trouble, Im not an officer of the law. I just wanna know. My best which would probably be nothing for most of you is 125 in my Z its still governed:cry: Im just waiting to get a few things done before I purchase tuner software.

i SOOO wanted to start this thread.
i drive mine fast, everyday, all the time...it doesnt feel rite goin slow

154 is the top speed i noticed on the dash while carefully looking into the distance!!

when i find a strip im gonna go 175 and let off

152 is the fastest I've been in it.......stupid.... yes, felt like I could get out and run next to it when i slowed down to 70.

Would you happen to know a guy named Darwin?

What sucks is that since the rear tires are so tall and the gear ratio is the same, my car was doing around 170 at the top of 4th on the dyno. We had to remove the speed limiter to get a proper dyno.

So what does it feel like at those freaky fast speeds???

My 1999 Z28 was flat out scary past 120mph. It never felt real stable and planted, kind if felt like it was going to fly off the road. I had the speedo pegged past 150mph in that sucker.

My current car, a slow ass 1991 350 TBI RWD Cadillac, I've had up to 110mph. Took forever to get there, but it felt like a damn train going that speed, no float or anything.

:lol: i couldn't agree with you more.

You can thank the shitty stock shocks for that floating, nervous feeling. If you ever get another 4th gen change out the stockers for some quality ones and prepare to be amazed because it will be a completely different car.

Good to hear, I'm adding Konis this weekend! 120 with the top down gave me a chubby! I want to hit 140+ with the top down, but at 120 the rear didn't give me much confidence so I let out. I hope with the new set-up it feels more planted. It was still pulling well in 4th when the wife asked me to slow down.

i did 166 in a 4th gen

ive gone 142 in my 4th gen let me tell you i was scared out of my mind

145 in my c5 Z06 felt scary...for some reason..maybe the tires i got

but 150 in my camaro is EASY...for me at least i was switching lanes at about 125-130...i know thats dumb but i had it under control...

it rides so smoooth...i just hate 2nd gear and 3rd..its only at the long 4tth gear....on the highway i think i top out in fourth gear at 132....

So would you say that they're capable of going 180+

So would you say that they're capable of going 180+

No...

I bet they will not even do 170.

I have gone 160 and it never felt that exciting, (in my car, not a 2010 lol I just kinda hopped in here).

I was going about 160 with one next to me

No...

why not??

So would you say that they're capable of going 180+

Stock tune they are limited @ 154, I'm prettty sure it would run 170ish stock. Thats fast, real fast.

why not??

Main reason is power.
However the gearing is not right nor the aerodynamics.

Can one go 180+? I'm sure you could.. Stock? No.

ive had my speedo completely buried, and she just kept pulling . i loved every second of it and have no clue how fast i was going.

I have had the Camaro to 105 so far, but I havent really beat on it or raced anything yet.

The truck on the other hand is a different story. I had it to 158 on the dyno, and on a road in Mexico called the 121 toll way right before they opened it I got up to 150 in third gear while racing a 4th gen SS on the way home from a ricekiller meet in Frisco. The Camaro feels safer at speed though. The truck doesnt like to stop.

136 mph

I'm sorry, but saying something like "I've had my car at XXXmph on the dyno" is one of the stupidest things I've read in an automotive forum in awhile.
Just sit and think of it for a moment before you type.

NO wind resistance,
NO parasitic drag,
NO friction between the front tires and the road, (& less friction on the Dyno drum on the rear than normal concrete)

As for real world top speed, the new Camaro has a drag coefficient of 0.37 which is about as aerodynamic as a Cadillac or an aerodynamic Pickup which isn't saying much.

wait...THESE CARS ARE FAST!! especially on the highway

it doesnt have the best get up and go out the hole...unless u use the n20.

would i say it is capable of going 180 + ..YES!!

and they may have size of caddilac or pickup.
but a motor to go as fast as your wallet allows!

what is your average speed??? (its shows you in the menu display in instrument cluster)
mine is 39.4
I dont know if you can manipulate these in any way but im guessing the ECM just averages your MPH for the amount of HRS the car has been running..idk about the idle..



if i can find some road ill put everything it gots hitting every gear maxed out and take a picture when the 6xth gear tops out..
its not that scary..unless your a. p****

Wow, I hope this was a sorry attempt at humor.

.....And owned fbodys for 6 years?

back to the topic....


if we can bury the needle on our 4 gens with stock power we should be about to do it on 5 gens. it might just take a little longer and a hell of a lot of road

I always thought the 5th Gen V6 and V8 are limited to 155?

man i had my 5th Gen on NFS Shift going 140:D haha I had my Vette up to 170 once. Scared the shit outta me. It wasn't really unstable but it felt light:D

i've had my 99 t/a around 180-185, rev. limiter in 5th gear. felt very stable and smooth. koni da, hotchkis springs and swaybars.

rear gears?

I'm going to call :bs: on this until more information is posted.

(1) The horsepower needed to overcome aerodynamic forces at 180mph is considerable.

(2) The stock spoilers don't put enough down force, and the stock front facisa does not keep the car from trying to fly.

(3) 180+ MPH is beyond the Z tire ratings safe operating envelope.

So unless the car is seriously modified, going over 160 seriously decreases your chances of arriving home alive.

People that claim 160mph or over should be ready to produce an AutoTap or other scan tool log of the excursion or cough up a reliable witness with a civilian radar detector pic.

And yes, I have an AutoTap log of a 159mph run. :D

99 T/A, m6 with ported heads, cam, and all supporting mods.
calculated speed, and comes to 188 mph.
3.73 gears
25.7 in tall tire
5th gear .74
rev limit set to 6800rpm
so when the rev. limiter comes on in 5th gear should be 188mph, thats why i said 180-185. and yes governer was set at 255mph

i've had my 01 Z28 passed 155+ MANY of times. It used to be a huge rush then i realized how stupid it is to go that fast. Life is more important than getting a rush for 30sec. and possibly death. I have a kid on the way, i'll keep it on the track.

166, minor bolt ons. would have likely hit 170 but i ran out of road

Not mine but 95 at a GM Ride & Drive with the representative in the car. :)

i've gone 160 in my car and loved it..

but forth for me ends at 120 on the dot with my 3.73's.

my friend had his 99 ws6 up to 174 verified by gps.

Agreed. I race Super Bikes for my speed kicks. When you get to a certain point, aerodynamics play a major key into the factors. It becomes the equivelent of pulling a "growing" trailer. I've topped out my '07 Gsx-r 1000 at 187mph only a few times in a controlled environment. At full tuck I could tell the bike was getting to it's outter envelope.

Now;
Most bikes have a 7-10% error in the speedo as well. Thus saying with my non-corrected speedo I was ACTUALLY going between 173.9 and 168.3 mph.

The power to weight ratio of the bike I was riding was;

.36 hp/lb

the camaros power to weight ratio at the flywheel is;

.11 hp/lb

So at that in consideration alone, without any other factors such as headwind, drag coeficients of a brick driving down the street, gear ratios, ect... I would call... BS as well.

There are reasons that people spend quite a bit more money to get higher speeds, as the hill your climbing becomes a mountain almost exponentially.

So much for the op's original question of....How fast have you been in a 5th gen? This thread =loss/

didn't have a GPS to confirm my 170 run but i've only done it once and never again. 140-150 is plenty for me and i RARELY do that. shit best i usually run it up to is 120 at most as i'm getting to old for that shit :D

In my 2010 i have gone 138 and on the dyno 148 as the dyno at 5880 rpm but had to stop as the dyno did not go past 155 and we had more to go.

So much for the op's original question of....How fast have you been in a 5th gen? This thread =loss/

True this went all over the place, dyno runs, video games...seriously WTF :mad: the question was intended for the new owners of the 5th Gen Camaro.

i was only joking when i was talking about the game ;) i want a 5th Gen but not until the Z28 comes :)

im not aerodyanmics expert but as alrge and as boxy as the enw camaro si with that HUGE front end I dont see it making it past 175 without some serious power to voercome with wind resistance

Tainted~ were you drunk when you typed that? lol

if you owned a camaro you would know what im talking about

the 'average speed' is posted on yur dash

it was like 15 MPH for the first day

now i got it at 45 MPH

*looked at my odometer again and fourth gear goes all the way to 142

fastest i been in these
175, 192, 169, Respectively, you azzhole

I'm guessing its a 16 or 17 year old.


was high when wrote the msg( but u dont even know what i was talking about in the first place. )

actually im 22
and have owned f bodys for 8 years

now i have 5 supercars

but you got ahead with your old man ass no life
one car barely making payents on ass
thats still slow
(lol now that was my sorry attempt at humor)

ok im done ruining your guys ego for now ill get back to the money, idiots

new top speed

169

:ban: Seriously.

tell me why^

tell me why^

I would love to hear about your five super cars. Only if you have time between counting your "monies".

Ok if people are going to act like kids I will gladly ask the mods to lock this thread, which I should have done so. apparently some like getting off subject. and if your going to argue about it please do so on a shit talking thread and not mine. keep your negative comments to yourself.

Wow, you proved your not 17, instead your just a huge Tool. Enjoy your drug money before you get shot. :eyes:

Judging from the pics it appears to be a C5, C6Z, a 5th Gen and a Ford Explorer:D

156.825 bone stock...In one mile...

MTI Racing went 182.X mph in their black 2010 SS, in the Texas Mile on Sat. May have gone a bit faster but that was the last I saw.

Yea I thought they went 181 when I left mile on Sat at 2pm. Had to leave early to hit the drag strip. Definitely a nice car. They said it was making just over 600rwhp I think!

Tainted~ were you drunk when you typed that? lol

lmao looking back at it now wow...but no I wasnt drunk, i was soemthing, but not drunk

but thats a built motor, what about stock???

This.

I went 145 this weekend. Slowed down to what felt like a reasonable cruising speed and looked down, 115 :eek2: Amazingly smooth at speed.

thank you i knew it was capable of going that fast...even though its huge

ive gotten my stock(internals) to 169 without a power adder so even with an adder im sure this car will go 180+ stock internals

That wasn't a stock car. Pretty sure it had a blower on it (may be wrong) but I know its not stock.

Correct, the MTI Racing car that did 182 was a cam, bolton TVS1900 car. Made 610rwhp I heard.
