No, it wasn't a Vette. But a Ferrari 599XX. Great car--and the guy at the wheel can really drive.

Car isn't street legal, like the Corvette, so this really doesn't count. I'm sure they can go even faster with a modified F1 car.

Fastest ever "production derived". Sounds like something from Obama.
Put an unrestricted GT1 C6R out there with Jan behind the wheel and see what happens.
