Can SS 1LE Hit 200 MPH?
Yes!
Simple as adding more power (~300) and spin it faster (7000 rpm) and hold on!  OEM SS 1LE: 175 mph Add LT4 blower and a good tuner: 190 mph Add 416 CI and stage I ported blower: 196 mph Add stage II ported blower and ported exhaust manifolds: 202 mph Otherwise, OEM chassis was rock solid with no changes. Wonderful product Chevrolet built!

Wow! When you slowed down to 120mph that must've felt like a school zone.

The SUV at the end!!!!!
That would be my biggest concern, somebody not being aware of what is going on or not abiding by that lane's protocol and just getting over to pass at normal speed and then trying to avoid/brake. |

Yes, the coast down felt a bit surreal. The car had no more in it as it sits...so the run was complete before the SUV...which was noticed long before. I was hoping to avoid any braking, but it was minor. Aerodynamic drag itself slows things significantly.
This stretch of autobahn is 60 mins drive away...but is a favorite as flat, straight, concrete and no on-ramps for ~4+ miles. Typically, it is desolate, but doing the run at day-break at this time of year, means 0715 and even on a Sunday - had more traffic than desired. Gearing on the SS is about perfect, IMO. The tuner recommended setting the limiter on this long stroke/non-sleeved block to 7100...and I was almost there. Fresh rear tires might net me another mph or two. Resetting the front alignment to 0 camber vice the 'track' setting of -2.5 could also help. Possibly managing the blower temps (rev'ing it out in 4th at light throttle) would also be a benefit as significant ignition timing was pulled at the top-end - from the overworked 1.7 liter blower. I rarely see folks at high speed on the autobahns, but cheer them on when they go by. Long time goal - and completely legal. :-)

Very smooth! Germans are well known for their roads - I experience the "Road Works" regularly to prove it, but the ability to push the throttle on risk and gas consumption only is a real treat!
The car was rock solid. Some steering adjustments were required, but I attribute that to the negative camber on the front - stability is not as good at 0 camber (and lower friction too!). I've wondered why the ZL1 (non-1LE) has gearing that is different than the SS - gearing is shorter - ie hits redline in 5th (~175 mph) versus the SS model. Seems like the opposite would be true since the SS is rated at 175 mph. In practice this was proven when I added an LT4 blower (stock LT1) and hit 190 mph right at 6550 rpm. Possibly it was a mileage/emissions requirement. No doubt going with an aftermarket blower making more boost without heating the air would just gain more speed.
