Mines no match for Kevin but much better than 92. No jack stands either. Mine was really on the road an I really video taped it. And anybody that takes their car up to that speed and says they were'nt just a little scared is either a liar or crazy. And people that crazy usually don't live very long.
Man! That's 5 miles of keeping it nailed!

I couldn't have lifted at 179. I would've had to wait for 180 to pop up. Regardless...nice run, Bro.

92 mph in a ZR-1 is like dating your favorite porn star, and just giving her a kiss goodnight.
Revs is what the ZR-1 is famous for..... low end torque? Notsomuch.
Well, happy 1st and 2nd gear to ya.

For me, just 173mph. The usual excuses, public road, brand new car, son in the passenger seat. The real reason? Top end is very scary, and sustained top end gives you way to much time to think about it.

The 92 was kind of "tounge in cheek" knowing I'd raise a few eye brows. Truth is, I drive my Turq car hard every time I drive it. Very acquainted with the rev limiter. Haha

Still, I don't mind being laughed at for not hitting triple digits on public roads its just too irresponsible for my taste and proves no serious point.

Yup, kissing would not be on the menu. That is like driving under 100. And just reving her engine would not be fun either. But then triple digits is not for everyone on a public road with no one else on it and a speed limit of "Reasonable and prudent" like Montana.

Out here in Connecitcut; every once in awhile we can hit triple digits on some on ramps.
