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.

Does anyone know the what the top speed is on the C7?
I have never seen anything published as was with the C5's and C6's in their sales brochures.

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.
