I was impressed then saw that this is a whole mile. Doing it in half mile is even more impressive. Not many, if any corvettes are even in that territory.

That has all kinds of win right there! I can't imagine not soiling myself when that 60-90 was spinning and then the speedo went Bezerk! Good grief!

I may or may not have ran to 140 earlier today. That thing was moving faster around 130-160 than I was 40-70ish

Is 230 that impressive in the mile? I thought Vipers have gone 230+ in the half mile. Doesn't the Ford GT still hold the mile record, 280+?

Yeah 230 in the mile is getting it. A stock gen 5 Viper does 180 in a standing mile. Now a built Nth Moto or Calvo Viper is more along the lines of this Vette. I believe you're right though, I think some of the wilder Calvo cars have done this in a half mile. They held some half mile record not long ago I thought. Still this Vette is wild.

I recall seeing something like 299 for a FGT somewhere.
