Default got it to 100 mph

Since it was a great day here in the South, I took my 02 vert for a spin and got it to 100 mph with the top down......luckily avoided any cops and then returned to the house at normal cruising speed......

loving the vette....

Unless you're saying that you're on the track, this thread will be locked as high speeds on the street will get you or someone else killed!

my apologies, you have it all wrong...I was not racing on the street, no way.....agree, too dangerous for all...I was just cruising and then upon passing on an interstate, looked and was doing 100......we do have interstates that allow 80 + as the speed limit, so reaching 100 is not that hard....

again, sorry, and not trying to break any rules..

Doesn't matter the admins don't like illegal speeds so IBTL. And I prob hit 100 plus on a weekly basis. 161 is the fastest so far. Of course this was done in Mexico..
