Default Is this real? ZR1 at 198 mph?


ZR1 doing 198mph, and has PLENTY of throttle left! ( 1 2 3 )
I really d/k--thought I'd ask the guys that would know.....

Sorry, I couldn't get the link up??? But it's on http://www.ls1.com under "Anything Goes".

In stock form? no way!

Modified? Maybe if your going down a hill. At 198mph the wind drag is pretty intense.

That's JeffVette's ZR1, there is a thread here about it. He was on the dyno (notice the water temp VERY hot, lack of cooling + bad water pump) doing a 5th gear pull. No wind resistance = very high speed :). Jeff is such a prankster. ;)

PS. His did pull 391rw horse on the dyno, so no doubt it might get into the 190's for real.

I see my f-body buddy Mike Wells has been busy posting again. I sent him that to ruffle his feathers a bit. I always egg him on about his SS. :lol:

(Doh! - hand hits forehead as comprehension is acheived) I saw the thread before and know that Jeff is not one to BS but thought 198mph was a bit high - now on a dyno that number makes sense...:) I overlooked that possibility earlier and didn't realise. :bb

Not to mention it might be a bit tough to take a picture from the drivers seat at that speed. Let's see... OK, I'm just gonna take my hands off the wheel for a moment to snap this picture. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeah, that crossed my mind too. You'd have to be a very talented individual to take a picture at that speed and survive...

By the way, your car looks SWEET luvmy92. :cool:

I believe you're wrong, that would be totally stupid and irresponsible.
