DAMN !!!! That Z06 came by that other car like it was sitting still. In a case like that you pray that the other drivers have good situational awareness.

160kmh = 92ish mph? That guy was doing an easy 150mph. Glad the guy shooting the video was paying attention!

Lane discipline is the key.

And a lot of money for gas........mileage isn't too good at 150+

That's one version. The other consists of 2 cars driving 5 mph below the speed limit perfectly adjacent to one another for 20 miles.

Its on top of my "wish list", i have been in USA 50-60 times and everytime i get so frustrated of their drivings habit, changing lanes, passing inside, outside, middle etc.
If you dont want to go faster, move right and find the lane that suit YOUR speed

So left lane is free for us Corvette lovers

1.609344 kilometers per mile. So, 160kph ~= 100mph.

I'm going to Germany tomorrow... the problem is I usually get slow rental cars. The fastest one was an S320 and I got that up to 240. Turbo diesel vw's aren't bad, I can get them over 220. The worst car I had was a mercedes A class got that one up to 160 and it was downright scary, slowed her back down.

It would be fun to drive a really fast car there.
