Sadly, the VBOX isnt as optimistic as the Corvette's speedo, showing our true maximum to be a wimpish but really rather terrifying 170.9mph".
Maybe we should get Jan Magnussen to test all the cars in the field and make everyone happy :roll:

Well - now we find out the car is not even broken in yet... brakes are probably not bedded in, transmission has barely loosened up - etc etc...
And lets see these liars post the
RPM of their "170mph" run - and instead of bothering with the HUD.... what did the they not simply obsertve what the analog speedo read??
I am guessing the eurocrats are done with the C6 Z now and will go out of their way to fuck it over in every test they get hold of now.
The euro manufacturers would have been calling the mags and letting them know where their advertising dollars come from.
Without an RPM number posted how can anyone take a speed reading seriously.???
And that's funny... "a pebble skipping across a pond".... what uttter bullshit...
I have had my car at redline in 5th a number of times and it is qyuite stable predictable and very well mannered at 173mph... the newer better aero car will no doubt be better behaved.
Such bias comments are why even as a South African I had a strong dislike for the anti-everything not european bias we used to get from european tourists.
It is again so blatant it is not even worth discussing.
"It's not european so it must suck"
