So 75+75= about 150.

The Z06 was doing more than 150. I've driven that fast and overtaken cars and you do not blow by that quickly. I think the first guess was more accurate that the vette was doing closer to 180 mph.

Germany? You sure? DO they even sell vettes there?

I stand corrected. Here's a video for comparison: If this video's claims are trustworthy, then the drivers in both videos were going about the same speed, but the Corvette claiming 155mph in this video looks a lot slower than the Corvette in the original video.

So yes it would seem this Corvette is going upwards of 180mph.
