Don't forget the Gen1 LT1 in the 70's Camaro, Corvette and Yenko Deuces.....

Could you explain what you mean about the SS MPH limiter?

Is ther another solution for a tow hook? Interested LT1 owners want to know....

I think he is referring to the LT1 model is limited to 155MPH and the SS doesn't really have one, it runs out at 180MPH base of the info provided by GM.

Since GM released the LT1 as a street version only, they limited the speed, removed the track settings, additional coolers and wider rear wheels.

I'm pretty sure I read the LT1 doesn't carry a factory warranty for track use which would make sense why it doesn't have a place for a tow hook.

It will be interesting to see if a company comes up with a tow hook solution for those that want to mod and use it at the track.

I believe the 155MPH speed limiter is due to the standard all-season tires. I don't think the tires are rated for anything higher.

My LT1 came with a tow hook but I'm not sure where it hooks up. Are you saying there is no attachment point? Seems odd that they would include the tow hook but nowhere to connect it.

I'm just glad this LT1 doesnt have an Optispark

I thought that he might be referring to a low limit but had not heard of that yet. So the limiter in the LT1 model is the same as the convertible SS has? That stinks. BTW the SS Coupe does actually come with a limiter set at 180, some of us have confirmed that.

LOL..I've seen a few YouTubes were it bumped above 180 a few mph so I wasn't sure if it was an aero limit or computer limit to 180MPH.

Good to know

LOL.. I'm with you there, I bought a 1996 Corvette back in the day that had the LT1 with the Opti-spark on it..

With 455hp and the shape of the car, the true stock ability of an SS might be somewhere around 180ish or so. Will mention that the computer limiter would read from the VSS, and my stock car's speedo read ever so slightly low at over 150mph, so the limiter might not kick in precisely where the number says in the real world.

Amen!

Just curious, what didn’t you like about the A10? All I’ve heard is people singing it’s praises so your comment sparks my interest. Thanks
