Hmmm 
my speedometer doesn't even go up that high. I have maxed it out at 155 
but that's still a bit short..... the corvettes speedometer goes up to 200mph..... but in the end that has a lot to do with gear ratios if I'm not mistaken

Boyce has done it (NATASS) and a couple other guys as well. ****...some of them are
"close" to 200mph in the 1/4 mile. Close is a relative term here.
I have all the power I need to run 200mph. However, the aerodynamics, tires,
gearing, suspension, etc aren't up to par for me to be stupid enough to try
that. 170mph is literally very easy to achieve though...and it comes up real quick.

Speedo's even when calibrated can be easily 10% (reading high) at high speed.
Autocar took a STOCK Corvette along a German autobarn and recorded (via GPS tracking) 183mph, the speedo however was showing a very optomistic 195mph!

Probably a 50 point inspection or so.
