As far as top speed capability goes, you have the Ultimate Speed Freak. I hope I never run into you, due to the fact that you are crazier then me. More videos please.
I did drop from 25/26 MPG in sixth on freeway driving to 21/22 when I added the 5th and 6th G-force gears.

When my foot is in it, all bets are off!!

Thanks again Guys!!!

Here's the rest of the first part of that vid. I did not have the G-force gears yet, but this run was done UPHILL...

Donno why no one mentioned it yet, but I looked at the comments and you say that the sounds of your vette was recorded for the NFS Carbon game. Thats pretty awsome dude! Were those sounds just recorded for a turbo'd Vette in the game?

I think the Vette is a C6 in the game, and takes quite a bit of play to get to that level...
