Z06 fly-by
A bit short, but quite impressive:
A Fiat Panda (video made in germany) doing round 150km/h (93 mph) and is passed by a Z06 doing over 300km/h (190 mph)

VERY good thing that guy in that camera car did not change lanes about two seconds earlier!!! He was catching up to that other car in the right lane and was preparing to pass!!! It was a cool sound when the ZO6 went by though.......
Remember, it is not speed that kills as often as speed DIFFERENTIAL.......just think if that car had changed lanes, that Vette would not have stood a chance of slowing down or avoiding him........

I have watched that video over and over. As cool as that would have been in a controlled situation, it was incredibly insane, dangerous and dare I say stupid. In the last week we have seen two Z06 fatalities, there is a time and a place for that kind of driving.

Been there, done that. Uhhh . . . I was the guy in the right hand
lane.
Most memorable place to me was north of Paris. Traffic moving
at 140 mph (est). I got my little rental car up to 105 mph, and
they were still whipping by me.
European drivers are in a different league from American drivers.
Over there, you drive. And nothing else. I rather like it.

Yes, the speed differential between a moving vehicle and a bridge abutment can be hazardous to one's well-being.

A driver should drive - he/she should not talk on the phone, play with the radio, shave, read, eat, apply make-up, and so on...
