C6's over 140???
How many folks do you think have had their C6 over 140 mph? This in not a roll call for those who have but what is your opinion on how C6 owners use their car.
Of course, if you have had yours up there feel free to sound off.

The better question is: What was the instant mileage reading at 140?

I will let you know. Just put on new tires and such so she is ready to go.
135 - smooth like butter on the way back from BG.
Cars are fun but try 150 on a bike and 110 leaned over in a turn passing an RC51.

Only one time that I went fast... I can't discuss "the incident" or how fast. The kind Officer and I both agreed we would never speak about it again. But it handled real well, smooth like butta.

Not yet. Many desolated straight roads in perfect shape here in the desert southwest, with miles of visibility in every direction, and flat as a pancake (we had to have at least one advantage, right? 
). But haven't been there yet. Those are the only places I consider safe, since you have miles of runoff and not a soul in sight. And in daylight, obviously. Those running high speeds on freeways or interstates at night are crazy 
. I have a perfect driving record, and want to keep it that way 
. And to run 140 on a track, you need a very fast track, and a very fast car, so don't kid yourselves folks
