<< hey joeb16...why cant you just answer tha guys question... not everyone has as much knowledge about cars as you...thats so irritating when someone asks a simple question and some smart a$$ tries to be funny and writes some stupid reply... >>



i find it rather retarded if someone doesnt know if a corvette uses MPH or KPH on its spedometer. Its common sense.

um, think about this. you export cars to other countries they are modified to fit the laws in that country. like the wheel being on the right side of the car instead of the left or whatever. here are some examples if they didn't change it our lexus's would be toyota's, we would have km/hr on our dash and the you would be driving it from the right side. i'm not sure if they do sell them in any other countries but i'm sure they do in some

yes, it could have been a video of an R34 skyline that was imported by motorrex to the USA. and guess what, if someone asked if the spedo was reading in MPh, id laugh at them too.

you know you're commiting some speeding violations when the dashed passing lines on the road become a solid white line My guess is it's completely stock, the spedometer stopped at 173, right on the money for the Z06's top speed.. Also, dont you just love that information readout that the Vettes have?? "COMPETITIVE DRIVING".... no sh*t[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

So I wonder if he will get a ticket like that guy who taped his F-40 doing almost 200mph and was selling it on the internet. The Z06 is pretty cool actually, they even have a composite battery to save weight, I did a big system in one last week.

yeah, for those of you that don't know, the C-5's have a plastic body to cut down on weight too.... I think that's pretty friggen amazing actually that they developed a plastic thats strong, yet so light.. no more fiberglass for Vette's, plastic=lighter

just in case you didn't notice, "Z06" is in the name of the video, Z06 is the high end Vette, Pontiacs don't have any of the "Z##" model names (i.e. Z24=Cavalier, Z26=Beretta, Z28=Camaro Z34=Lumina and finally Z06=Vette)

I couldn't see how fast that actually said, but it looked freaking crazy....

Stock brakes would have sent that thing spinning.
