C6 Top Speed
According to the Corvette Fever Mag I got in the mail yesterday, they ran one on the test track at 186 MPH. Then they folded the mirrows in and duct taped the front-in and ran 190 MPH. Then they drove it home

Wonder about duct taping the front though... is the hood going to blow off at that speed???

Why would duct tape make a diff then?
Maybe duct tape over the foglights is what they mean?

At those speeds, closing up the radiator intake can make a huge difference in aerodynamics.
Course you'll overheat if you do it for too long.
