As in "it's 10 years old and may break to bits if we push it too hard" - or facetiously "shaking" as in "we are not scared - we will still win - so who cares?"
Teehee!! Well, the early models had, shall I say, crap build quality, and I wouldn't want to do 206MPH in them, that's for sure.

What does a standard Z06 run to 150?
173mph is what stands out in my mind. 6th gear is twice the ratio of 5th, and there for CV fuel consumption.

sooo... people run their 15 year old ZR-1s to 180 even today... does that mean that GM suddenly has better build quality then the Lambos?
it cant be both ways, where the 'vette has bad build quality, then it has good biuld quality :roll:
