Whats the fastest a 96 rs camaro can go?

The top speed of a 1996 RS Camaro depends heavily on several factors, and there's no single definitive answer. The stock vehicle is significantly limited by its gearing and its relatively low-powered engine (compared to SS models). While some might claim a higher figure, a realistically attainable top speed for a completely stock 1996 RS Camaro is likely in the range of 110-120 mph. However, this is a theoretical maximum and reaching it would require ideal conditions (long, perfectly flat stretch of road, no wind, etc.)

Factors affecting top speed include:

* Gear ratio: The stock gearing is optimized for acceleration, not top speed.

* Engine power: The RS had a smaller engine than the SS model, limiting its potential speed.

* Aerodynamics: At higher speeds, air resistance becomes a significant factor.

* Tire condition and type: Tires are a critical factor in traction and handling at speed.

* Vehicle weight: Any added weight from modifications reduces potential speed.

Any modifications, like performance tuning, different gearing, or aerodynamic improvements, could *potentially* increase the top speed, but that would significantly alter the car's initial characteristics and safety. Attempting to push a stock RS Camaro far beyond its design limits is highly risky and could lead to dangerous mechanical failures.
