How fast would a 79 camaro go?
That car, according to the website listed, was rated at around 170-175 horsepower, with a 3.42:1 rear gear on the automatic model. Unfortunately, since the ’70s saw the introduction of smog control crap, this car has a fairly restrictive exhaust emissions control system, and probably has miles of vacuum tubing under the hood. All that stuff sucks the life out of the engine. However, it’s still possible to bury the needle on the speedometer. Those cars didn’t have speed limiters, so it’ll go as fast as you want to rev the engine in high gear. (I had an early ’70s Nova–similar to the camaro– that would run 115 no problem) Just be careful, the tires may not be rated for the speeds you think you want to run. Check the site listed for more specs on your car.
