I think you can buy a stripped Formula. So technically, it would be the fastest LS1, well as fast as a stripped Z28.

The limiter depends on what tires you got from the factory. when my car was stock I got up to 125 and never hit a limiter...

When you have the limiter, the Z28 has the V6 Speedometer, I think it only goes up to 120. You didn't get the Eagle GS-C tires, the Suspension is different, and you didn't get the performance axle.

All cars that came with the Stock toruing tires (eagle GA 235/55/16) were limited to 108 MPH. They came with the 115MPH spedo. cars that got the QLC package (eagle 245/50/16 GS-c) or the QFZ package (245/50/16 RS-A tires) available in 95 and later got the 155 spedo and no limiter.

Striped Formula
What does a striped Formula have to do with anything? Stripped Formula is what I was talking about. As in, no options.

there was suposed to be a ? after that but my keybored is old. I was just wonder where you were getting a striped formula from? All the formy is, is just a V8 with a V6 body. Other then weighing slightly less it's just the same. The 330HP firehawk on the other hand, thats more powerfull and they are rare..
