ZR1 vmax - 210 mph, or 215 if you are sneaky

Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter, there is an electronic limiter set for 210 mph. Yet if one disabled the limiter and managed to turn up the boost beyond 10.5 psi, the ZR1 runs out of gear at 215 mph.

So it's not officially "certified" at 210mph yet?

Top speed for these types of cars is really just a number game.

I have to laugh everytime I read magazine reviews of the "latest/greatest" Corvette.

When the car is still new and the magazines have to suckup to GM to get invites they literally worship the "still new Vette"....

Fast forward 12 months and the very same magazines rip it apart every chance they get ;)
