2002 SS Vert

[samuelsamuel]

Hey guys,

I am currently considering an addition to the family and have found a '02 convertible with 500 km and have only one question before I buy. What is the convertible SS governed at, if any different than a hardtop or t-top; I was told convertibles are governed @ 112 mph. Hope I was told wrong. Thanks!!

I remember doing 140 MPH in my previous SS vert bone stock down to the Fram filter.

Only Z/28's were governed back in the day before RSA's became Z rated. You used to have to get the GSA's to not get limited. no 02's are governed.

Thanks for your help guys.

[ss~zoso~ss]

if the vert ss didnt have z rated tires it would be governed

mine did 160 MPH top down

Not true, I have a O1 convert Z28
and I went a little pass 150mph racing a
rustang corbra

[Dillard99]

well the point is that who ever told you that top speed on
convert camaros is 112mph don't know what their talking about thats
the point.

Early model 4th gen 'verts were governed but I do not believe that any of the LS1 cars that came with Z rated tires were.

Doesn't matter anyway. Don't let the top speed dictate whether you buy the car or not. There is much more to the car than that.
I just picked up my 02 SS convertable about 2 months ago, so far I haven't regretted it, although the purchase is still fresh,,,,lol.
Great car though, you'll enjoy it. Larry.

had mine for over year and i still get that feeling.

[Firebirdjones]

Thats cool. Unfortunately I purchased mine at the wrong time of year. Weather is nasty here with snow and salt everywhere so I haven't gotten to enjoy mine yet. Another month and things should get better. Larry.
