How Fast?
135 mph and still climbing in about a 1/2 mile, stable,and handling great. I wanted to see the top speed, but thought there might be a cop over the next hill, so I backed down to 65 mph. Didn't want a driving award.

Need help
I have been reading heat problems, and most everyone says the heat range from 215 up to 235. My C4 has always ran beween 201, and 197, untill I changed the water pump. the temp now has reached as much as 235, but the fan does not kick on, even with the a.c. turned on. I do not see a sensor, between #1 plug, and #3 plug. There is one on top of the intake manifold, and also one in the right side radiator tank. The only way to get it to come on, is to jump from the battery to the hot wire on the fan. Any advice?

I'd say he could get pretty close from driving one. The pic above is from my LT1 93 C4, and it definitely had more left, I just didn't want to push it any further and try to take a picture like a fool. I had my 96 doing 145 with the top off, so I KNOW it could go a lot faster. And my 03 Z06 makes those cars seem like toys, honestly. I am freakin' scared to try topping the thing out. Unless something really bizarre happens toward the end, I'd be shocked if my 03 wouldn't come near 200.

My brother did 152 racing an undercover cop in a Mustang... and got pulled over
. And heres the best part, the cop was off duty playing around with him, pulled him over to see his 92 ZR-1 with Grand Sport wheels because he had a 96 Grand Sport!!!! As God as my witness he let him off with a warning.
