How fast was this Corvette going?!!

[Q]

What an asshole

 

[SearchMaster]

If the driver of the filming car is going ~150kph, why is the video entitled "That other guy had to be going at least 161kph" - sarcasm I assume.

 

[onza]

LOL! ummm blazing fast

 

[Vetterin]

Since you were going about 90 mph I would guess he was between 130-150 mph. What was the speed limit on that road? FWIW, the fastest I ever drove was 139 mph in my 85 vette and that was the ONLY time I ever had it over 100 mph.

I removed the 133mph speed limiter on my 06LS when I flashed it with an SCT X3, but haven't had the testicular fortitude to go that high yet

 

[DivideBYZero]

Yeah, he was doing some big number.

Yeah, I was thinking 50-60mph faster than the filming car.

I took my old Eclipse turbo up to an indicated 135mph once but that was for a very short stretch and there were no cars within a visible distance ahead of me. I've probably only been over 90mph a few times since. I've tended to enjoy the acceleration more than the speed.

Um, that was on the autobahn in an unrestricted section. What he was doing was perfectly legal. I know cause I've seen that video elsewhere when the z06 Corvettes came out.

 

[LTC8K6]

Been posted here a lot.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

About 320kmh. The guy taking the video knew the guy in the Corvette. It had mods that included a supercharger.

 

[angry hampster]

I'd say well over 150.

According to what my GPS logged, I had my GTO up to 145mph. Fifth gear was really close to running out so I backed off.

Wow.

The video is over a year old. It was on the Autobahn and the Vette was going close to 200 MPH.

Post from the guy who owns and was driving the Vette.

 

[BW86]

damn he was moving.

One mistake and he'd be dead possibly along with some other innocent motorists. I don't care if he was on the autobahn...that was stupid, irresponsible, and downright dangerous. :|

Change everyone's diapers and force feed them their vegetables while you're at it.

Doesn't matter. My point still stands.

Don't be an idiot. Nothing I said was unfounded.

It's ONE road where there is no speed limit and it is legal. Perhaps then it is the person going 55 on the autobahn that is being stupid, irresponsible, and dangerous?

Wrong, it's a public road not some personal race track. Going that fast on a 2 lane road like that with slower traffic is irresponsible and dangerous. What happens if a medium sized animal wanders onto the roadway?

There are just too many unkown variables to safely travel at that speed on a public road like that.

 

[Bryf50]

Am I wrong or does it sound like the driver jizzed after the car past him?
