Default Fast Miles

With so much smoke outside from the forest fire I'm stuck indoors... just for fun I thought I'd total up my high speed miles as the odometer has turned 25,000.

With all the open road events in the last 2 years I have run 1200 miles at 130 mph and up. (BTW all these speeds were legal)

The car has never missed a beat. Frequent oil changes, new tires and a few mods to keep it running cool.

I'm just going to keep havin' fun with my C5 until the C6 Z06 comes out.



Come out and have some fun:

Yep,


I see that Speed is still hangin' around the race car (hoping for a ride?)

You missed the B100 & I'll miss the Gablers run.

See you at the Silver State?

Here's a picture of Carl at the South Finish line...

That's a lot of miles at that speed. Me - I haven't even put 1/10th of a mile at 130+.
