Default Wow these cars are fast!

I finally got to give the a beating going to work with it today. And I got to say it's fast..... still not fast enough though lol never to fast. But these cars are so fun! Needs better tires though spins a little in 1st and 2nd. What's the fastest you guys have gone? I hit 150 at Mexico when I got the car in Glendale.

Careful...especially if you need tires. Easy to lose it in a hurry.

So fast it's easy to get a ticket. Be careful out there. This car is a whole different animal. Easy to lose track of how fast you are going.

I hit 140 driving it home the day I bought it.

Yep, the C6Z is a very quick car. Too bad there aren't many places where you can stretch its legs.

Mojave Magnum 1 1/2 mile standing start trap speed of 196.5 MPH stock with 275/325 M PSS, with strong tail wind in 2012. Got 28 MPG driving the 400 miles each way to the event. I run the Silver state challenge/ NORC twice a year in the 150 class, have over 600 miles at 150+, much of it on cruise control (that only works properly on the C6s up to 157, above that when you try to put it on cruise control it just keeps climbing!, GM fixed that on the C7s).

My HCIE build added 133 RWHP peak to peak and 170 at 7000 RPM, haven't run at Mojave since the build last May.

Actually I'm going to Richie at Abel today instead of the strip to figure out this noise. And I'm also getting a set of MT tires so I'll be at Sanoma drag strip Wednesday night. hopefully April 12

Don't dump the clutch off the line. Especially with MT tires.

Every time I drive or ride in a stock or heads/cam z06 I don't think the person is flooring it, or something is wrong with it. Its amazing how your definition of fast changes when you mostly deal with 800+rwhp cars. Was in a 650rwhp c7z the other day, and wasn't the guy was getting on it.

Be safe, and keep the crazy speeds to a track. No reason to do that crap on public roads.

Why so low?

Were lucky here to have some sick canyons with no traffic where its just you against the road, even then a large amount of caution is required.


In a city? yes I'm 100% in agreement
