That's what I thought but you can clearly see the car stumble/squeal at launch...

The car has aftermarket gearing, If you look at 3rd gear 7000 rpm is only 110. With stock gearing it would be over 120. I cant tell if the speedo is wrong because of the after market gearing.

I dont think an aftermarket gearing I think he was running 345-25-20 in the rear
Don't quote me though and it looks like 115-118mph in 3rd if you look closely.

Sick car though it made 615rwhp

It's not a good idea to speed/power shift during a 0-200mph run...

Definately looks to have a gear to me! Look at the top of 4th... he hits nearly 7500 rpm and only hits 155 mph. Whatever the case is, that car is fast! My stock Z06 ran the mile in 29.3 @ 171mph.....

O okay.So When your timing your acceleration rather in be at the track or some 200mph highway bomb you shouldn't shift like you have a pair.I just wrote that down in my driving notes.Thanks for the tip!

Try powershifting that car on street tires, see how wheelspin takes over and you loose seconds from it going up to 200mph. Hell I don't powershift my stock z06 at a sticky dragstrip because wheelspin hurts my e.t. A 660 HP gear'd z06 would be sideways in 2nd and 3rd gear which I don't think was the goal in this video.....

0-210 in about 24 seconds

going over data logs from that pass-

0-60 in 3.0
0-100 in 6.2
0-160 in 14.2
0-200 in 20.5
0-210 in a tick over 24.2

Reference video

Can you also pull the distance from your data and put that on the graph as well.

I did not have a Vbox, simply engine vitals and wheel speed data log.
