Default Re: How fast was a Motion Camaro

You know the terminal speed would have been dependent on the final drive ratio. I'm sure 600 HP would make a 69 Camaro plenty fast with a 3.08 gear...

In September of 1996 I was at 134 mph and accelerating in the middle of Montana in our Brickyard 400 car (97 Camaro Z28 convertible) when my lovely wife woke up...needless to say we slowed right down!

On another trip through Montana in August of 2001, my friend Don in his 2000 Z28 convertible used the cruise control to bump the speed up to 146. This with the top down and two big guys (and our luggage) in the car.

Not bad for two factory stock convertibles!
