So how fast have you taken it?

Rubbish, my first speeding ticket was on the Seward Highway just past the O'Malley exit. I was doing 116 in a 55. I've also been in a ZR-1 doing 140 on that road. It's what gave me the ZR-1 bug.

not nearly as fast as most of my bros!

To tell the truth....I don't remember what the speedo was saying, just the tach .....tach in 4th gear hit 4600rpms...fastest I've ever been, or at least it seemed like it.

I gotta say the car has more that me! I know that at 120 it feels like you could get out & run faster. On a good road this car is decidedly uneventful...no fuss at all.

Read my post again... I said there is no road in Alaska "I" would drive a car at 150. I didn't say that there aren't people dumb enough to do it. I used to be, I drove my '68 Z28 Camaro at 140 along Portage Flats in 1974. I was 26 then. I know better now. Oh yeah, I've never gotten a speeding ticket. =D>

as a lot of you know from following my post's/replies, out of my Zee's, i've driven them a total of about 250 miles or so. not each, combined milage. pretty sad i know. had to get the garage finished, remember? the 93 & 95 i haven't got up to speed at all. i had my 90, when i first got it, up to 154 going up an incline on a curve but i saw a few cars up ahead i was catching way too fast so i thought better of that & got off her. felt good up till then.

Hum, to stir up the pot, and talking about the Mile Shootout...
We are in the talking stages of another ZR-1 Gathering West.
Ron H. said there will be a mile shootout at Nellis AFB
the last weekend of Sept, 2008. It is a hoot! We would like
to organize a ZR-1 gathering around this event.

We realize that we have to sort out the safety requirements
first and earlier. But we also need attendance commitments
to make this worthwhile (and fun!).

We will keep you posted.

I did 150 at said Mile Shoot out in 2006.... and as noted, not fast enough.

Don,

I think we can slip an LT-5 in there.

It would fit perfectly up front between my feet - I just need to flip the exhaust upward. However it might block my view of the track - O well !!
