I loved that call in. 
He wont hit 180.
This.
Bonnville salt flats or some other sanctioned event around the country,and of course you need safety equipment.
Any other way is illegal, and that is what you want to do?
IMO going 180 mph. on a public road is a death wish.
Hey I'm no saint,I bumped 138 for a second or two on rt.18 along Lake Ontario,one time.

I would like to legaly drive 180 mph somewhere in the US. Obviously, it will have to be on a track or a closed highway, but I have yet to find that place. Who's done this and where? Non modded Grand sport.
And no, I do not wish to drop $25,000 to rent Daytona for a day LOL

I ran 162+ MPH at Talladega in my stock Z06 and BEZ06 has run several times at Daytona in his Z06. 165 MPH on stock tires, and 175 MPH with Hoosiers.
At Talladega I doubt that you will exceed 150 MPH by much in a stock GS and maybe a little faster at Daytona. With a manual transmission, the GS is maxed out at 6500 RPM at 150 MPH in fourth gear, and it's difficult to accelerate much in fifth gear without a really long straightaway.

Right. 161/162 to 192 is a massive difference. You're not going to gain 30mph at those speeds in another half mile. There's math in here somewhere lol
