silly thread imo

At least with the C7 they fixed the cruise control problem on the C6. Anything above 157 MPH and the C6 would just keep climbing

Question for Tadge?

This looks like a legitimate question for Tadge - has anyone already called for a vote?

There are quite a few tracks where this issue could come up, not to mention Bonneville. If you're a tracker, this could be important. It would be a real bummer to get beat due to a speed limit that others may not know exists until it happens to them.
