157 for me. I'll push it when I get new tires and a GPS that will tell me my speed since I only have the 160mph speedo...haven't done it since my mods so I'm sure I'll get there even quicker next time.

I felt like the car had enough umph to hit the 200 milestone, but ultimately 184 is a lot faster than I had ever thought it would be so I backed off for the time being. But given my age id think that 184 should suffice for quite some time.

Quick note. My speedo in the 03 only goes to 160mph.
Everyone said that when you peg the speedo, the digital mph keeps working. Ehhhh, it doesn't. Least in mine it didn't. Pegged digtally at 160.
Too scared to take it to 190-200 so I wimped out at 160-170.

Actually ZR is up to 186mph. ZR (Y) rating is 186+. I have hit 190.5mph (GPS) a couple times. Pretty uneventfull in the Black Series. I'd like to break the 200mph barrier but the $ involved in safely doing so is not justified in my opinion.

Out Of Control!!
As the photo below indicates, 157 annd still pulling hard. The speedo is quite accurate, as it indicated 158. It was still pulling very well when the limiter kicked in.

206, done it 3 times, that is a GPS validated speed. I think that is all she's got for now, I think it's hitting an aero wall, I would assume my front splitter and larger rear spoiler are costing me a few MPH.
