By now most of you have seen or read about the first C7 to break 200MPH.
You can view the vid at the "other" site. Amazingly the Texas DPS sanctioned the run and apparently under the guise of testing the new tollway's automatic authorization system. When I first saw the news and article I was like "meh" a C7 topping out at two-hunert on the bottle, whats the big deal? Then I watched the video. OMG! that was a feat! Not only did the driver go through 100 MPH holding onto the steering wheel with just one pinky finger... He broke out @ 200 with one hand and a pinky finger! Truly an impressive display of driver ignorance & stupidity. |

Agreed. But also, 100 mph is like nothing, not very fast. Try running these speeds in a race car with 1/8th inch of toe out. |
