If you watch closely it looks like they hit 207 mph. Now imagine how that thing will do with a little more boost. An 11 rib pully is begging to be challanged with more boost. I bet she could see 220 mph with a few adjustments.

Yeah, I'm so glad GM is finally putting their finest into a street vette. No longer have to have a C5R or C6R to have total domination.

Leave it to the Stig to be the first to reach 200 in a ZR1.

+1 I agree 100% Maybe even a couple more, so what do you think she'd do with additional boost, say 16-18 lbs maybe more vs 13.5 ??

I agree, and I don't think those helmets would do a whole alot at that speed. Not saying they shouldn't be wearing them.

Its a test track, as in they have all sorts of vehicles driving on it. Right lane is slower, high lane faster...ect.
