Default XTREME HITS 200+ at TEXAS MILE

204.6 mph (so far) in a daily driven well optioned (AC and Nav.) TT C6 Z06

This was our second time at the Texas Mile and both times have been great fun.

As many, our goal was to surpass the 200 mph mark. For those of you that have tried, you share the trials and tribulations.

I am proud to say that with our second trip to the Texas Mile we not only met our goal but surpassed it with a 204.6mph official time. This was done on Friday mid morning. We unfortunately ran into some technical difficulties that did not allow us to increase our MPH conquest. Nothing major, just unable to address during the event.

A big thanks and congratulations are in order to Scott (the car’s owner), Jan, Cody, Louis, Nate and Randy for all the hard work that made this possible. Not to mention all of the great staff of the Texas Mile Team for a safe and beyond awesome weekend.

There are so many fellow auto enthusiasts that show up at the Texas Mile, it makes for a great weekend.

We look forward to increasing that MPH substantially next time.

What would a stock Z, on OEM tires expect to hit on the mile?

Scott,
Congrats! The difference between a 175 mph run and 204 mph means a HUGE increase in torque. What tires did you run?
