When the Camaro hits Terminal velocity it simply quits accelerateing..... it
kinda charges up to that speed and then just sits there..... it does have a
tendency to look for less wind resistence so it kinda " Floats " in a zero G
environment...
( 510 rear wheel hp = 225mph )

I can see where that speed for some cars would be a matter of traction
limitations.... ours was a HP limitation.... never thought about it starting
to spin it's wheels at that Point Dale... but I suppose it's possible.....
What does everyone else's car do?
