125 mph in my 2009 C6 on the entrance ramp to I-75 in Naples Fl

Just as I hit 125 my Valentine went off, but thankfully it was the HP clocking someone else. Brakes did there job that day.

My 2015 C7 Z51 has only been to an easy 100 passing. Miles too low to abuse.

Jeremy, That looks like a Weapon X Splitter. Does it have more ground clearance? Nice.. No speed bumps it that neighborhood..

I have seen 2 magazine tests, one at 185 and one at 190.

If memory serves me a C6 in testing did 185 plus on the Autobahn in 2004.

So a properly broken in 2 way run in a C7 should be in the 190s.

That is only my opinion.

I know of a guy in a blue C6 who hit 145 AND while there he was passed by another C6 and a C5, who both hit 165.

And I know of a lady who hit 167 in her yellow C6 Z06.

But, I ain't saying where these people said they did such things!

We have 25 mph speed limit signs in our neighborhood. I'm off to change one. I wonder if anyone will notice.
