Default Your Top Speed?

For all the C6 owners out there, whats the fastest you have gotten your C6 up to? Also, how does it feel and handle when you are at that speed?

How does that F-55 feel compared to the Corvette base suspension?

I have had the F55 in my last two Vets and not driven a base car in years, so I can't give a fair comparison, but I remember when I first drove the F55, I was very impressed. Everyone who I have ever let drive or ride are impressed with the ride quality of the F55 and yet it still provides excellent cornering control.
