He is probably really runnin the car but set his speedometer to have larger tires there for speeo will fly like that. Handheld programmers or tuning can set diffrent tire or gear ratio for speedometers to run fast like that. When he is hittin 140-150 he is really doin maybe 60-80 mph on hwy.

im not gonna say the car doesnt have an ls7 and make the power stated, but that vid is fake. Ive rode and drove a handfull of cars with more power, bs on the "serious driving skills". skill has nothing to do when your wot in second gear in a car making over 500rwhp. My boys c6z breaks the tires loose at the top of first, second, and third on a cool night, and the car is making 570 wheel. And yes its on good tires, 345 invos. where was the tire spin in 1st? and the other bs, no road noise. Im saying its on a dyno w/o load.

How do you guys know he doesnt have a good suspension setup with good slicks? You all seem to be saying fake and that hears gears are messed up but his shift points are exact with 3.42 gears ******* LOOK instead of saying NOPE HIS GEARS ARE DIFFERENT IT MESSED HIS SPEEDO.. everything hes shifting at is exact with 3.42s. It is odd about the tire chirps and **** not being there but idk and like said before at least 50% of the people on this forum including me have been to 150 and there isnt that much wind noise idk what you guys are talking about. My buddys camaro has wind noise idk if its a sealant thing or what on the windows, after around 130 for me you cant hear the wind over the exhaust anyways so why would you hear wind in a video? You guys rag on it to much, if it has the power it says, and its built right, it is possible that its real.

I'd call fake.. just because if you look at the rate it's moving at even 150mph, it looks like this car would probably hit well over 200mph. I don't see it happening in a 4th gen without 800+rwhp.

are you kidding? theres plenty of wind noise at 150 and 160+ sounds like your in a jet. my seals are tight and my exhaust is loud especially at close to 6000rpm but it doesnt come close to drowning out the wind noise at those speeds.

Im with the others on traction and wind noise. Also seemed like the car slowed down really really fast.
Seriously? You think people dont do it? I did 145+ last night in another members 02 Z28. Ive burried the 155 speedo in his 98 z28 quite a few times. Around here theres tons of long straight roads with no one else on them for miles.
And the car sure as **** isnt that quiet inside at those speeds.

If the 2nd video is posted first there would have been less controversy. alot more tire spinning and wind noise there. why might that be? Thing still gets there pretty quick.
