I dunno. I guess less than the C6 top end.  But like I told someone the other day... I don't have to catch you - I just have to outsmart you. 
Sounds like that wasn't hard to do.

I had a supercharged Crown Vic a few years back, and the State Troopers who bring prisoners to my office all drive Crown Vics--they said they drove 120 all the time, so those cars don't have the governors that civilian cars have.

What are "stop sticks?" Do they effect the runflat tires?

A strip layed across the road with spikes in. When U run over them - many holes - no air. There are such things. Not sure if they are referred to as "stop sticks". Maybe something new.
Not sure what effect on run flats.

But with 4 years behind the wheel of a 2002 Z06 and 1.5 years with my new 2006 Z06, I have zero tickets or accidents. If you're going to speed, do it responsibly--use a radar detector! (always watch out for the biggest street gang in the country).

The "moron" description was for the idiocy of trying to outrun police in a high speed chase, which is simply a recipe for disaster. I always enjoyed the "moron of the week" video in southern California involving high speed police pursuits.

This is Why you don't perform top speed runs in the City
