I had mine up to 65mph last week. It was a little hairy going that fast, but I managed.

Actually I only have 105 miles on mine so far and I am trying to resist the urge to "test her out". I am planning on having this car for many years so I really want to be cautious during break in.

Once I get her broken in and the oil changed I plan on taking the Noodle-5 to the track and seeing how fast I can get her.

Ran it to the top of 4th motoring alongside a new zo6 (not racing just cruising on an empty stretch) I think it was around 118-122

So do our SS's have a speed limiter(governor)? If so what is the top speed of the limiter?

That's not pushing it? I may need to trade in for an SS. lol

I might've hit 70 last week for a mile or two. I've been trying too hard to find out what kind of mileage it gets and forgot that fast and furious can be fun too! I might go and chirp the tires tomorrow for grins now that I'm over 500 miles on it.

I've hit 130mph. Gets there slower than my Mustang, but it's very calm and stable, and gets there plenty fast. Definitely lots more left in her. Was impressed with the stability of the car at speed.

Has any one found out what the rev limiter is on the SS? Is it different for the manual than to automatic?
