What's the top speed of the regular Z without Z07 aero?

Also is it aero/gearing limited or did they physically add a limiter to keep it at 195mph?

no official numbers for Z06 top speed, but my guess it will be 205MPH

Better have a full tank of petrol if you're gonna try that out... just sayin'

If you get those shoes @RRuuff you should be good for 206.

 

[Mr.Corvette]

207 MPH

195MPH = 314KPH = Way faster than I want to go. Then again I am an old chickens!@#, I like to be able to drive to my destination, not arrive in a hearse. However, on a track it would be a neat experience! Now..... would you leave the nannies operating or shut them off?

I know someone close to me, (I am beside myself) who did 135 mph when the 407 opened. The car I (I mean he) could barely see in the distance arrived way to fast. Luckily I (I mean he) was wearing my (I mean his) brown pants. That was fast enough for sure.

i would like to hit the top speed once, just to have that experience. I wonder what distance is required to hit the top speed? Maybe a runway race type event?

Quite a while. Once you reach a point where the air becomes a brick wall it takes more and more time. I can't speak for 650HP, only 320, but it gets harder and harder to achieve more speed.

Try the dragway.
I've been to 260kph in 1320ft.

Yes, a friend does that every year. It's always on the weekend after the long one in August and always on the Car-B-Q day
"Race The Runway". You can find it on Facebook

62 seconds 0 to 300 kph. Don't ask.

My previous 2013 GT500 has reached 245km/h up the back straight @ Mosport when I did lapping days with it back in 2014. In 2015 I did a bucket list item when I trailered it down to Daytona to do a weekend event on the Rolex course. After the bus stop and back on the oval around turn 3, 4 and around the tri oval the car hit 265-270 km/h before braking down to about 100km/h to go around turn 1.

If I was able to run the car on just the oval part I'm sure the car could've hit 200 mph. The 2013-14 GT500's were capable of hitting that magic #, the only Mustang so far to hit that mark right from the factory according to Ford.
