How fast?

I read that the factory specs for a 2013 zl1 is roughly 184 mph. Any idea what the published top speed would be for a L99 vert?

155 MPH for an L99 convertible.

Also, a convertible ZL1 is limited to 155 if I recall, due to the convertible top itself. The coupe is set higher.

I think they are capable of 185 mph but the factory limiter is set for 155 mph on these cars. I did 191 mph on the Bonneville Salt flats and it had more to go....then my alarm clock went off and woke me!!

184 and 180 for manual, I can't confirm because I'm not about to try it unless I'm a closed off course lol.

It takes about 5 miles of road to reach 184 by the way.

Fastest I've been is 115. But, I own a V6. I don't have the big boy motor.

Me too, 152. Only time I've been over 150 in a car under my control.

Sprints to 130 take nothing though, these cars get there easily enough. It feels like the aerodynamics start to impact forward progression pretty good past that...
