How fast have you taken your C5?
From my previous post.....of 153....I hit 157 on the straight away at Spokane Raceway Park a few weeks ago.....I've never had it over 75 on a public road.....I get it all out of my system on the track.....it is a couple miles long....so I know it would go faster....but I don't want to end up off the track.....since 120 is the max going into turn 1!
Ticketed at 130 Coming down from 145ish, was passing a few cars on a highway twards a small vacation town called Chelean. as soon as i got around the 3 SUV's there was 2 sheriffs one after the other. didnt even wait to see there lights just pulled over... He cut me a break and didnt even get me for a Neg ticket just "70 over posted limit"
Plus the fact im 22 was a great experience for the cop, the judge laughed at me in court.

Had an 01' C5 coupe a few years back and opened it up to 160 one morning on US 287 north of Fort Worth. As I remember I had a little peddle left, but was catching up to a pack of cars and didn't want to push my luck. Very memorable ride, was a beautiful sunny spring morning. I also had an 84'coupe with the "Cross-fire". Not a bad car, but not a very strong car. I had it to 130 on the new toll road north of Austin. Car really handled well to be an almost antique. Took a little while to get up to speed, but really handled nice. Ran much faster than I had expected for such an old car. Currently have an 02' C5 convertible and have had it to 120 a couple times, but wasn't reallypushing it. Think I'll just be happy with 120. This is probably my last Vette for a while and just don't feel the need for speed that I used to.
been faster in 2 Pontiacs (162 - radar) and the other was 155 indicated, but pulling hard to the peg and away from a GT500 heh-heh...
in the C5, I've gone a little over 140 (Garmin wasn't on) a few times, but I don't want a ticket...so 120ish is the fastest I'll usually go, maybe once every 10 days or so. I try to keep it around 70-80 on the norm...
