Default 160 + mph n my zr1

I just reached 502 miles in my ZR1 with a mild kinda short break in period. Man, this car pulls in every gear. I hit 148 in 4th gear and once I shifted into 5th gear the car zoomed to 160+ while I was riding the brakes a little. I could've gone faster but was breaking nearing a turn ahead. I also had a passager weighting 250 pounds. I just opened it up a lil to hear and see how it would drive. For those who have a ZR1 try driving it with the radio OFF. The SOUND IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! The next time I will have someone video it.

I hit 151 in a flash last week. From 0-100 is quick but, I thought it would take forever to get to 150 NOPE. I only have the radio when my wife is in the car (She likes the Tour Mode ). When I'm in the car no radio "I love that sound and the Mild 2 Wild is the best"!
I'm getting a Blue Tooth K40 in her this weekend. Do the diffusers really work?

Enjoy my friend these cars Rock!

I hear you "turn the radio off" that engine is pure music when the pipes open. Who needs a radio?

The K40 is fine as a radar detector, however, not too good at all as a diffuser. Best combination is the passport 9500ix, cost is $500 smokes...

Common sense has little to do with spelling.

If the mods would let the thread last, I would like to take a poll on how many Z06/Zr1 owners have NEVER taken their car 100+ on a public road. Even if you wont admit it on here, you know you have

Have to agree with that. There is always a time and place where you can safely stretch your cars legs without driving like a maniac.
