I own a 2000 camaro 3800v6. I can get it to 118mph before the governor kicks in. I'm not sure if the previous year is governed the same. Considering the gear and RPM it's in, I'd say that it would max out at 130mph w/o a governor.

It would be 115-118 MPH, but realize that it takes a descent amount of power to sustain those speeds, and a bone stock 3800 Series 2 isn't much on the top end of things. You will need PERFECT conditions (no wind, cool moist air,ect.) to achieve 120MPH in one. My wife's 2000 Bonneville has a 3800 Series 2 in it (stock) with a K&N air filter in it and it is wonderful in taking off from a dead stop and passing people on the highways. But has a little lack in the top end area. They can be built to run with some V8's, but you are talking some $$$$$ and would be better off to get a V8 Camaro if performance is in mind.

It may well be governed to 112mph, but if not should be good for about 130-135mph. 200 or so HP and decent aerodynamics and gearing should put it right around there. The V8's would go to about 150+ mph.

ALL American cars are speed governed... a V-6 Camaro will be governed around 105-110mph...... if there was no governor..... probably 130 mph max.

It is limited by the computer, the computer will make the engine start missing at a certain MPH, on your car I don't know what that MPH is but it's over the speed limit.

If the tires are original, you can go by the speed ratings on them. The manufacturers set the limiter to that speed.
