That isn't even rung out all the way. heh

The Z06 was tested up to 190ish I believe, so I am sure there is a ton left in the ZR1.

I have to wonder what the top speed of the ZR1 would jump to if it was dropped down a little. Remember, it is a 50 state legal production vehicle. There is a minimum ground clearance for cars rolling off of the assembly line. That leaves an easy 1-1.5 inches that the car can go down as long as there are no driveway or speed bumps or deal with.

Looking at what the ECTA guys do, low is fast. They try to seal the car to the ground.

320 KMH is exactly 200 MPH. 1 mile is 1.6 KM. 100 KMH is about 64 MPH most of the european mags do 0-100KMH so they are usually on par with what our 0-60 times are
