It has been a couple of months and I have been lying low. Just busy with life things. I got my new rims/tires on my C6 and got to test them out today. They are 19/20 AR924 rims combo with 245/35 upfront and 295/30 in the rear with Indy 500 tires. No traction control issues at speed, that was the main thing in sizing the tires. The car rides so much better than the eight-year-old tires that were on the stock rims.

The next upgrade is brakes. Thinking of Wilwood Aero6 and FNSL4 with Z06 size rotors.

252kmh, 157mph, on the Autobahn. My goal is to top out at 187mph. Working up to it.

The drive home today from an American Car Show in Germany. The show was awesome. I have to post the pics of the cars that are in Germany. Speeds for reference on how fast I was going.
161kmh = 100mph
200kmh = 125mph
230kmh = 143mph

That's cool that you have a place you can legally drive that fast.

Neat video and nice C6.
