In the SS per my DashDaq..........The 1 got stuck up until the next key cycle.
Another unconfirmed speed. I don't know how the GPS came up with that speed
A legitimate Speed on my Triumph

GM claimed 152 or 3 on the SS when it came out. I would have to say it was the 5 speed.
As for one with the Turbo Upgrade I am not sure what it would add. I figure at least a few MPH. It take so much more HP to gain 1 MPH at those speeds.
The GS Regal was clocked at the Copper state classic at 162 MPH with a 270 HP Turbo. It has much better aero and a 6 speed but it has more weight.
I have been over 150 in cars and to be honest I have no interest in those speeds in something this boxy. I was bad enough is a 65 GTO we tached out once that had near 500 HP 428 and only a 3:08 R/P at the time. When you are in a gental sweeper and you have the wheel turned to the right and the car goes straight it gets your attention. The air was getting under the car and making it very unstable. Oh to be young and dumb and live though it again. LOL!
Now these speeds in a 911 or new Vette feel very slow if you are out there all alone.
