Chevrolet lied to me. They said my Z06 could do 195mph, but I had trouble getting past 185mph last night. Perhaps the humidity and damp roads had something to do with it.
It stopped accelerating at about 180, and I eeked it up to about 185.1mph according to my GPS watch - at a speedo indicated 190mph.

It had a lot more in it, but I pussied out - for one I just didn't have the ***** (the car didn't have the aerodynamics for it), and I didn't feel like spraying 220 for 30sec straight.

345/30/19 - it's a C6 Z06 rim with a Viper tire. Goodyear sucks.
