Default Corvette C6 at high speed on Spanish highway

The video is from the 6to6, a kind of "mini-Gumball" some people has done this year in Spain:

It's pretty high speed, you can see the speedo reaching towards 280kmh. The last number on the C6 Coupe speedo is 300kmh if I am not mistaken.

Yeah, I didn't think a M3 could go that fast. . . maybe there was a strong tail wind .

An E46 M3 can reach 300kmh without the speed limiter.

If I recalled correctly, I thought the aerodynamic limit of the E46 was around 175mph or so. . . which should be around 280kmh.

I might be wrong though.
