Top speed i have no clue, got mine to 130 on test drive and never pushed it after that... stock quarter is around low 14's to high 14's... all depends on driver...

It depends on the gears.
But I do know that my 97, 4.6L, 5sp. stock with 2.73's, wouldn't budge over 138mph
I was astonished, my 92 Camaro RS 5.0 5sp. did 145mph no prob.
Yours should do that, but it'll take a long time to reach the top 5mph.
Either way your gona get caught if the cop has a Z-28
I was lucky he only had a Crown Vic. wich is governed at 139mph or i woulda been had.
My brother is an officer is how I know.

Or a Helicopter. Not only that, but how long can you maintain 140 MPH? Traffic or turns are bound to get in the way.
