190mph on the HUD.

I'm having to assume all the other traffic was going pertty damn fast, cause it didnt seem to me that he was really blowing past any traffic.

Z06 and this video does not do the '07 Z06 any justice. The new Z06 is simply astounding----hopefully, the Vette will be around for a few more years. I'll asure you that 180 mph is very fast.

Normal traffic speed is somewhere 100-120 mph, but gotta watch out for nuts. And road constructions. Smoked my brakes on E last year pretty bad. Also motorcycles are much more fun down here, it's just the zooom -zooom and they're gone . . . .

Kinda uneventful video. Doesn't portray the speed very well that the Z06 is capable of. It's still a beast though!

While living in Germany, I saw a guy riding like this and when his front tire washed out in a long sweeping corner on the Autobahn, he hit the guard rail on the left side of the road, cartwheeled down the rails at about 160mph...he disintegrated like going through a cheese grader.
It was nasssssty!!
But...yes...those 'vettes are nice :)
