I wrote a program to estimate vehicle top speeds for a fluid dynamics class that takes into account drag and road friction. I think the stock lt1 can go about 215 assuming no wind, and constant air properties based on my calculations. I'll try to dig the program up. You can find C_d (friction factor) values off of wikipedia for most cars if you want to compare aerodynamics.
