Default Gone Country pics how fast?

Was up in the country and was able to let loose a bit got a new record for me at 160 mph!! Some nice property where I was staying so took a couple of pics. The car was a little dirty & I'm no photographer. Question is how fast have you driven your vette?

GPS said 171. This was in a politically correct situation. Also be aware that if ANYTHING
goes wrong at those speeds...it's gonna hurt like a #$%^&*. I'd never for a moment consider doing it with anybody else in or even near the car. Have fun.

thread has been alive for 22 minutes now.. I predict lockdom before it hits 1 hr.

160 IS FUN, I run out of stones right around there too. Glimpsed @ 170, I think...

I completely agree with red....its cool and all to say you have done it. Hopefully you will never attempt it again.

No tire or runflat that blows out at those speeds is going to help you.
