..it's gone--screamin stright thru Texas like a mad dog cyclone.

What does a 2014 C7 'Vette look like at 200MPH on Houston's Grandparkway Tollroad? Don't blink, you'll miss it.

That aint a car that's a rocket on wheels
Did you see how quick he hit 100 !

 

[greybeard]

And he was not pushing it thru the lower gears at all--didn't seem to be much in a hurry off the starting line.
That one has had the powertrain modified by Hennesey Motorsports, but even the 2014 stock C7 is advertised at 195 mph top speed.
7 spd transmission with double OD, but the top 2 gears are 1:1 or less. If you watch his shifts, I think he went straight from 4th to 7th gear.
That's 294 FPS, or almost an entire football field length in one second.

White lightning! I wonder what the little doodad is he's holding in his left hand? Camera start/stop?

Remote flush for the integrated toilet - just in case!

 

[highgrit]

Because you can. Bikes have been running 200mph for 15+ years now.

GB you salvaged our cattle empire
Remember the only reason we're not cattle barons was our wives wouldnt move with us
The way I figure it with this car at 200 mph we could commute everyday
We're going to bigger then ol'Shanghai Pierce

I couldn't afford the speeding tickets and the dings on my license.

I need one of those for the house .. Wonder what my wife would say if I traded in the ole flat bed on one.

 

[Shantilly]

At 200 mph you do not have to worry about speeding tickets. A possum turning you into a greasy spot on the road yes, but ticket no.

I felt like that riding with my 69 year old grandpa the other day, he has got his dodge cummins turned up about like mine, but his is in a 3/4 ton with an automatic, it runs like a race car. We whent to a tractor auction about 100 miles away and we got there in 71 minutes :help: the speed limit is 60mph on this whole road, we were going along about 85mph and passed a highway patrol sitting beside the road, I honestly think he thought he couldn't catch us :nod:

In late 1973, I bought a 61 vette. Mostly stock with just a 283 and a 4 bbl.
I lived in Memphis at the time and kept Shelby County Tenn and West Memphis Arkansas's local govt coffers full with my speeding tickets.
