"High Speed Oval at Germany’s Automotive Testing Papenburg GmBH proving ground. Compensating for wind speed, the top speed is the average achieved from running the ZL1 in both directions on the 7.6-mile (12.3 km) loop — 202.3 mph in one direction and 193.3 mph in the other direction.

In fact, top speed on ZL1 1LE doesn't exceed 180 because of the wing.
"Aero Package May Enhance Handling, But It Cripples The Camaro ZL1 1LE’s Top Speed".
