To be in a ‘69 ‘Vette with 1975 street tires doing 158mph takes balls, and it’s those same huge balls that weighed the ‘Vette down and let those two pass you.
188 mph actual. 335/25/20 rears of the Z07 package. 6000 rpm in 5th. Export C6s speedos are programmed high, USA models are exact. 6400 rpm would've been exactly 200 mph. :(
S65 is nice, but not nearly as fierce as the LS7. That thing is just raw power and torque. And it revs, look how this thing pulls all the way to 7000 rpm. This is a different level of performance compared to the S65!
