i like how they do 205 past an 18 wheeler...

briann 04-26-2008 06:10 PM

Ohdeng,
what's an 18wheeler doing on a track?

Mugatu 04-26-2008 06:59 PM

i used to love doing that in Gran Turismo

RotoRocket 04-26-2008 10:36 PM

That is amazing.

I used to think of 200mph as the upper limit of a production vehicle, but times have changed.

First, the Nissan GT-R with a 07:35 lap time at the ring, and now this.

Amazing.

Having played GT5, the GT-R has nothing on the Ford GT.

I'm an expert on these matters.

khronus79 04-26-2008 11:09 PM

^^^^^^^^LOL, based on your expertise, I've dropped the GT-r from my next to own list.

Hell ya. Hit the bank flat out and just keep your foot planted for a full straight away at 190 and 200 mph plus. It would be a good day doing something like that.

Huh? What are you basing that on? Just watched it again, looking for shaking or problems with stability... I can't see anything a car shouldn't be doing at frickin 200mph.

By the way, if you didn't notice, the GPS speedometer is the red LED readout on the center console, and you can read how fast it rips from the starting speed of100 to 150 mph.

That would be so insane driving that fast..

RWagz 04-27-2008 09:58 PM

The interior looks like a GM parts bin victim.

LostAngel 04-27-2008 10:04 PM

^I believe the only interior part the C6 shares with other GM cars is the steering wheel...many GM cars share it (cobalt for example). Other than that, the XLR is on the same platform as the C6.

AHHAHAH sorry man... yah I was sitting looking for any indication of him fighting the wheel, but he was too busy looking down at the digital speedo every 2 seconds. The laptop dude who was data logging was just sitting there like it was a Sunday drive.

It has over 630hp and will crush most cars like a bug. You going to walk up some guy who just bought one and say "yah, but your interior sucks."

faboo 04-28-2008 03:13 AM

hmmmm....it would be nice to shift into 6th at 150....and still have plenty of oomph

tajabaho1 04-28-2008 03:20 AM

205 mph is fast enough for anyone

Speed is like harddrive space. You always need more.

I'm guessing that 205MPH is NOT it's actual top speed, as a slightly modified (I mean slightly as in Vararam intake and a tune) will get you to 195mph-200mph.

Look for the ZR-1 is the final version. There is a tuned Z-06 that suppose to mimic the Compuserve ALMS GT1 Corvette. And its a damn fine machine on the game!

Oh, good find on the video, the Corvette is a Amazing piece of machinary.The only Chevy I will ever buy!
