Take picture of the dash on start up. The speedo gauge sweeps to 200mph and the tach to 6k+. Should be enough to fool a Ford boy.

No pics, but a quick search for "200MPH Corvette" yields DOZENS of YouTube videos...

Just tell your ford buddy to give up. your ride is far superior whether or not it can actually go exactly 200 or not.

After I got my '07 I sent a cell phone pic of that to my wife and told her I was at the police station and she may need to bail me out. She flipped out! I probably could have kept it going but she was seriously going insane over the phone. She thought I was going to lose my license and have the car repo'd. I then confessed and all I heard over the phone was #@$%*!!!!!! Needless to say I got a well deserved beating when I got home.

You caught me. I didn't think anyone would see that the seat belt, air bag, security light and and few more were lit.

not to mention the ABS is malfunctioning, he has low tire pressure, just armed your car, has 80psi oil pressure, voltage regulator isn't functioning correctly, the airbag indicator is on, pushing 7500 rpms... all on a full tank
