with all of that power it had better break 200mph. The 507hp M5 can break into the 200mph and it's a heavy sedan. Not trying to bash the vette. Never the less the Z06 is one bad car in my book.

I think what you said is exactly right EL34... The problem is, to keep with your analogy, truly beautiful people arent porn stars. Porn stars are just girls with big tits and that's exactly what this car is and I love it!

If this car could pull of being truly beautiful as well as fast, well I guess they'd have to call it something else. "SL65" perhaps...

Sounds to me that the only thing keeping that car from going faster is the gearing. The engine was almost redlining at 205. If it had another gear or 6th was taller I have a feeling it could definatly have a higher top speed (if you even needed it)

Also another thing I noticed...did anyone else seem to think 5th gear was EXTREMLY tall. He seemed to sit in 5th for what looked like 60mph. Though it pulled the entire time.

This car is just bad azz.

I remember perfectly that my M5 without the limiter can reach 200 mph.. so this corvette with 120 more hp can only do 5 mph more?
