Type "98 Corvette Road test" in your search engine and a Motor Trend long term test article will come up..........they say the following:
"wind buffeting above 130 was noticable"
And:
"For top speed, we observed 173.9"...........
but make him bet you first. I think he should be charged about $10.00 for his ignorance fee. You know the difference between ignorance and stupidity?
Ignorance is curable.

I told him that I had seen posts of speeds a lot faster and he said I was full of it.
Who's right?

Where do they get this stuff?
You are 100% correct, and your friend is severely lacking in the truth.

Jay Leno wrote an article a couple of years ago about renting a 'vette in Germany to drive on the Autobahn. Because German manufacturers limit their cars to 155, he was passing all of the high-end Porsches, Benzes, etc., doing about 170.

The only spped limiter I had with my 98 vert 6spd was my wife.
Depending on circumstances it could engage anywhere between 85 and the right foot all the way to the firewall. It was a very positive limiter & I have the black and blue marks on my arm/shoulder to prove it.
