RE: 160 km/h @ 2400 RPM in 6th.
 

i agree with percentages....i took my c6 up to 160mph on the florida turnpike as i was heading down to the keys at about 7am on a sunday morning......WOW......its a rush, but any little mistake, driver/outside , and thats it, your done at that speed. i could feel the car asking me to go a little further but my nerves gave out, i had to slow down....BUT WHAT A RUSH!!!!! and yes the penalty is stiff. at least here in florida ...... i believe they can arrest you for anything 20mph over the speed limit, rarely happens though. they normally just smack you with a huge ticket....but at 160, i think you would see some jail time. i think it attempted vehicular man slaughter or somehting like that. never have looked into it...and truthfully....dont want to find out.

Any way you cut it, 160 (or 260 KP/H in Canada) is plenty fast. Even a pro driver under non-controlled conditions like the open highway, could get into trouble. And at the end of the day I would rather "splinter" the law than break it. That way I still get to admire my C6.
