Looks like he actually got it up to 200mph. Is this a dyno run?

Not a dyno run. Its from Motor Trends high speed shootout a couple years back. They dyno'd and ran tuner cars and used the Z06 as a base. Its the one where the GTO (can't remember if it was MTI or what) blew oil or something in the mile run, I think it was on pace to hit 200 or so.

I think the Viper wound up hitting 217? Maybe 212 in the mile? Can't remember.

Would love to know how they eliminated the camera shake from the "actual" video.
