Absolutely. My car would probably hit in the 155mph range in the Texas mile. But as you can see with plenty of road they will all run in the 180mph range all day long. And that video was taken before the top end porting/Fidanza flywheel/headers and a master tune by Corey H. I don't know what it would do now. I'm not sure my balls are big enough to see. I'd like to live to the ripe old age of Glenn B. hehehe!

We have 3 ZR1's. 1 completely stock and was good for 169mph. The other 2 in Germany have Geoff Jeal built motors (650+ hp). Here is a link of the red one at 316kph or 197mph on the Autobahn at 1:30am. It's a beautiful thing to see a ZR1 travel 100 YARDS PER SECOND!

The only mods at the time were the ram air on the front of the car with the open air temp sensor routed right in the middle of it along with all of the bugs that went to heaven splattered on it.


Also thick finalic plenum spacers that keep the plenum luke warm after a drive not frying pan hot. And adjustable camber rods on the rear. That stuff was already on the car when I bought it. And then of course the top end porting I did myself and had it powder coated. I'm waiting for Corey to make me the Jeal copy headers with high flow bullet cats. Then I'll have him tune it. Like I said, I don't know what it will do after that.

Hehe! I heard that. I gave up rice rockets for corvettes. In 1993 I said fair well to the last GSXR 1100 as I was recovering in the hospital. I got tired of taking spills on bikes.

I went to ATVs (Raptor 700s)....at least they have 4 wheels and the spills are usually on sand vice asphalt

Yep. Hitting the asphalt at 120 around a corner because somebody spilled some sand in the road is just way to painful. I was 23 years old getting ready to turn 40 and knock on wood I don't have any aches and pains from it.
