Average Speed
We all talk alot about the performance of the corvettes in terms of horsepower and torque - I love my C6 Z51 coupe and in a few weeks it will be joined by a Vred Vert Z51 with a power top - however, when thinking about performance I was thinking that geeze, I never really drive the thing faster then 70-75mph - sure there is the occasional challenge by a Mustang GT guy at a light but I dont race and other then simply knowing I could top out at over 189mph I never will - what are your thoughts? Whats your average speed? Do you race or simply cruise around town knowing you could crush just about anything on the road.

I drive mine every day, so I drive normal speeds. Have yet to get much over 115. I guess I'm getting old. When I had my 92 (and I was 24), I had it up to 160 within 2 weeks.
