Tom,

That's probably a CF record, there.

I've taken a friends ZR1 to 178..... Not legally, and about 150 on the straight at Grattan Raceway. It was fun but i will never do that again unless im on a closed course.

the longest straight).

Piker. I hit 137 in a C2 on city streets 48 years ago.

155 mph on the front straight at TWS. That was just before the rev limiter in 4th gear, crossing the start finish line. It was "point to pass" during HDPE so shifting to 5th required less cars

Hello ZR1 group,

How about 198.5 mph in the standing mile on a turbocharged Hayabusa two wheeler. Check it out!

How about 150 mph in the 2006 Corvette and in the ZR1. Check out 150 mph in the standing mile, full throttle 2/3 mile then slowdown for finish line so we didn't break the 135 mile rule.
