Question
I wonder if the PCM will do a forced upshift if you are in I. Maybe Hyper knows. Given the power, I don't think 155 is out of the question. My 04 GTO with 350 hp and 600lbs more would pull it off.
But I agree that the SS aerodynamics might be only slightly better than a Fiero and mine is no fun over about 120. hell, my 86 TR was no fun over 100!

Sad to think this high profile vehicle may be as aero as my Fiero. Times have changed.
I know my Fiero with the standard nose before the air dam and vented hood was bad at 90 MPH and nearing 120 really bad. Now it is good with the additions. It was amazing the lift the standard nose makes.
At Indy on the speed way it was very stable at 120 MPH.
Never really did a all out speed run in the SS. I am more of a point and shoot kind of guy now. I have had enough high speed runs in the past. I am old enough to know what could happen now. Having a kid makes me think more. I always said I would never grow up but I guess you can't fight it.
Well I did not have it in I.. So that might have been it. It makes more sense that if its not rated for more than 80 in top gear than in I it should perform. That was actually the answer I was looking for. Thanks for all the input.
Yeah, Mine did, we have last 3 vehicles through them and my parents last 3. We left out truck and I handed him my keys. Plus got lucky there wasnt hardly any traffic, Glad the Ss didnt take long to hit that, shut her down then came back off ramp where I got .46 according to lateral g. I then really fell in love with it!

I wanted to hide it but they laughed, I was actually 50% serious. They said no probably 70% seriousiouly lol. Imagine that
