How fast has anyone driven a C6?
Stock C6, manual or automatic: Max speed? Will it actually go 186 as quoted by GM ?

I'm not sure if it will do 186 or not. It will do 150 quite easily though. This of course was done on a private track.

How fast?
Since I ordered a Z51, 6 speed, I am curious about the speedometer results. I hope no one gets to verify radar results. You may not get to keep your license!

160+ So far. Planning on shipping the car to Bonneville in May or June (depending on the salt condition) for an SFRA meet. Trying for 200+.

Vette mag did some track testing when they first came out and did 186 mph. They then taped the mirrors and did about 190.
