[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img] i took the ZL1 out for s spin yesterday afternoon and followed a friend in a M3 convertible. with 600 plus HP we know they will run on the low end. i must say we had to let them breathe. i was the follower as we were headed to his house on hwy 77 north to mount airy, nc. the last i checked the speedo we were at 145 mph. i think a quick look at the tach in 6th gear was around 4400 rpms. it has 410 gears but with the 6 speed it was strolling! i had a ton of throttle left. i couldn't imagine this car with a 342 gear or lower ratio. i wouldn't hesitate to say it would run well into the high 100's. when i got out of the car i felt like i had taken a lap at the daytona 500. my adrenaline was pumping and heart racing. i haven't done that since college. man what a rush. BTW the car did not shake, shimmy, and was downright awesome. i've got the throttle open mode making me want to climb back into and do it again, boy was that fun!!!!!
