Re: topend (Idreamofvettes)
The Z06 appears to be over geared in 6th. A 2.50something overall gear would probably bring the top end into the 190 range. Numerous M5's without 155mph speed limiter have hit high 180's and low 190's in Europe on the Autobahns and Autostradas. Surely the Z06 would be capable of at least matching that figure with its slightly higher horsepower.
