    I did 149 in the Camaro and 144(ish) in the Grand Sport at Road America and I can tell you that's fast when you have your windows down and can feel/hear the wind rushing by (track requirement). Turns come up on you really quickly at those speeds.

      I bet that was a rush!

      Before I had any performance mods I had a buddy from work with me and saw 140 on a two lane country road. Afterwards I thought how stupid that was. He was a BMW guy and said he did 135 in his so I felt I had to beat that. Again, stupid. Could have killed both of us. If I do anything like that again, I'll be smart about it.

          Freddie...when I first saw that in his hand, I jokingly commented "ejection seat".

            You guys should try driving with Wilson in the car when he starts with the Top Gun quotes.

              Didn't think of that, but may have been a good idea.

              Another comment I didn't make before is that I was amazed at how there were was no sign of any vibration in the car at all at 200mph. The camera didn't shake, the steering wheel was perfectly still. Of course, I'm sure that had the car dialed in perfectly, but I was still amazed. The more I see stuff on the new C7's, the more I'm impressed. I think GM hit another home run.
