Afterwards I asked him why do this so late in the day. Turns out 4PM was when the MPG security people changed shifts and for about 15-min or so there were no guards cruising around. The car was bone stock with no roll cage or harnesses and it was against MPG safety rules to go that fast without safety equipment, special permission and jumping through who knows what other hoops. Had we been "caught", John would have been in a lot of trouble.

Mahalo for sharing Hib! Personally it does not matter to me since I honestly don?t have the location or balls to try 180, but it nice to know that the slogan is not just made up. 🤙🏼 Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry

You are the MAN Glenn! Very few on here will ever be able to do what you do, especially on that narrow road where you do you high speed runs in NZ. I salute you big time and you represent the C4 ZR-1s in a big way. To me, you are a King of the Hill! Thanks for keeping the legend alive. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry

Wasn't the bigger accomplishment that a stock engine was able to run at high speeds for up to 24 hours and was still in good shape after the testing? If I remember, it wasn't just about top speed but true robustness.

?Proper? testing might need 3 runs, but we are not talking about a sanctioned certified Bonneville Salt record here. The Life Begins at 180? comment falls in the category of bragging rights, not certification. This is why you won?t find what you are looking for. ?JUST DO IT!?

Different accomplishment. Yes, easily indicative of the fact that the LT5 might be the most rugged high performance/exotic street engine ever built. But it also doesn't much matter if the street versions don't hit the expected numbers.
