So i wonder if the the new Z will do 200. I know it wont have 1000hp but it might get there eventually.

Nice video! Not to go off topic, but since it took an additional 150hp for it to go 200mph...does this confirm the C7 is indeed slower than the C6 since there wasn't ever a top speed released?

Not far to go on that parkway. Guess just getting the
interchanges done on 290. If go to 10 will be quicker
vs Fry. Course 200 would make it even quicker

The car has run 187 mph (300k) stock. I believe I read it's limited to that speed in the computer.

I normally ran a 175 shot in my dragster and that puts you back in the seat..
