That would be a blast! I've done a few stretches at 155 and that was enough...Of course I'm sure that 160+ feels much different in a C6Z than a stock F-body.

BTW: Noticed you are from Hereford. I've been there a few times 'Go Herd!'

Some people shouldn't be allowed on the roads. He very easily could have killed someone just trying to get home. He should have his car taken away from him.
Stupid, selfish people **** me off!!!

I actually think you can go about as fast as you want legally on the autobahn...not real sure. There's probably some Military guys that were stationed over there that could tell more.

Yes you can, but there is some talk about putting a limit. Or putting a limit on certain types of vehicles. I think that project was saying use some sense no point in going that fast I guess....

195, nice but im still waiting on them to break the 200mph mark stock so it can be taken into consideration as being labeled a "supercar"

Dude this was on the autobahn, it is completely legal and people actually know how to drive there, unlike the US (use of turn signals, use of mirrors, no soccer moms in SUV on their cell, etc.)
Many people max out their cars on Germany's autobahn.

Yes there is a gang of us over here. www.fbodyeurope.org & www.mightymustangs.net. Our cruising speed is 120mph and after a while it feels like 55mph. Unrestricted zones you can go ***** out to an extent. Don't have to check your 6 or worry about Polizei hiding in bushes etc. You get flashed you pay a ticket in the mail 3 mos later. No points deducted UNLESS you are involved in a crash.

I dont think the z06 can hit 200 stock. The reason it goes 195 is because that is the very top of 5th gear in the car. As soon as you go into 6th it doesnt pull anymore. So 195 is a combination of gear and hp limited. Maybe something as simple as a slightly bigger tire could hit 200. Who knows.
