    I don't get up here in this rare air much, so if this is dupe, please forgive me,

    Corvette Z06 full speed at the german Autobahn - 333 km/h or 207 mph!

    This is some serious hauling Butt

    I've always thought that the published top end of 198 was too low. 333 KM/hour... about 100 yards per second. Better.

    Your'e right, but GM was goosey about the "optics" of putting thousands of cars on the road capable of hitting the scary 200mph figure.
    There are times for thinking, and times for acting, but the art is in the balance

    Great to allow these vehicles to run loose and get up to the speeds that they where design for and are capable of doing
