I pulled 186mph when I had my 3.42s. Now that I have 4.10s I can get to 160mph before I back off due to the engine spinning at 6000+ for longer than I'd like.

No that does not look close. You can't rev to 59 MPH in 1st gear, stockish! You'd be about 6200 RPM at about 47 MPH in first, I am always hitting the rev limiter (6200) in 3rd at the drag strip, so I have to shift into 4th for more speed, and I usually trap near 107. Stock size tires, stock 3.42 rear gears. I don't have the exact RPMs right now, but no way you do 59 in 1st gear, or shift out of 3rd at 105. Only number that looks right is your 5th gear speed.

This brings up the question I have about 6th. Anybody know with 3.42 gear what HP is needed to make 6th the top speed gear (meaning it will exceed what is possible in 5th, even if maximum rpm's aren't at limiter)?

Some of you guys are nuts, I raced a new Camaro to 140 and was pretty nervous. Any little thing happens your fucked. Car moves over a lane, deer, who knows. Even though it was late on a highway and traffic was light. Maybe I'm just getting old.
