I'd say he's going 250KM/H +


7. googleiscool commented 15 years ago
I wonder if the police will catch him


8. googleiscool commented 15 years ago
He has no fuel


9. banzemanga commented 15 years ago
lol #8 you have great eyes.
the guy in the video made a noise not because the car was fast but because he doesn't have the fuel to do the persuit.

that dude was going AT LEAST 150mph


11. richardhalo commented 15 years ago
Well that was indeed fast, but not as fast as the death that awaits him in the nearest intersection!!!! That will be an epic fail!!!

#(removed comment) is a wise guy.
Corvette doesn't outhandle european cars. Americans have improved it's handling, and that astonished even TopGear, but it hasn't "outhandled" anything.
Besides - how can you be sure which corvette was that ? What year was it made ? What kind of suspension ?

more like 250mph, gaylords

If you can't even spell Porche, you obviously doesn't know much about cars.. And the 'fact' that Corvette somehow out-handles the European super cars is just as ridiculous..


19. LittleHooker commented 15 years ago
Definitely a bargain of a car. The 2009 Corvette ZR1 will be even sicker. 638 horses coming from a supercharged 6.2 liter V-8. And for an American car, it gets better gas mileage than any other super car except the Porsche GT3. Not a bad deal at all for $105,000 US.


20. SpikedSilver commented 15 years ago
so who recognized it as a corvette?? may have been just a black box on wheels


21. BombDiggady commented 15 years ago
Regardless of what type of car he/she is using, that is way too fast.

Oldfart: depends - After driving a slightly modified 2007 STI on a race track.. its got a lot going for it for the price. I'm sure evo's would be in a similar category but I have a soft sport for the suby.
Then again, some of the hot Audi (rs4) or Porsche offerings would also be sweet.
I'd have to say my preference would be for the Japanese cars, because I can afford them
Really hard to say... I would love a rally spec peugeot.. or citroen...
I do not crave any American cars (or Australian - im Australian, our cars are crap).

Oldfart - you forget, that they drive modified, with super-everything cars in LeMans, those cars are not stock. Everything is modified.
And the fact, that Corvette wins it, is due to teamwork, the driver and then the car. It doesnt prove that it's handling is the best. It only proves, that it's overall calibration is good.
I'm not saying that the new Corvette is a bad-handling car. It handles very well, I've seen tons of footage.
But all the other corvettes before it handles horribly, and you cannot deny that. Which means, that more than 90% of Corvettes on the face of the earth (probably even more) are those of old model, and they HANDLE LIKE SOAP.
You take a fact about a new model of a car, and make a conclusion about all the Corvettes ? Wow, you're one SMART guy.
Not to mention, that you don't know what kind of Corvette is in the video. Grow up a little, think wider.

Driving that fast is stupid on an open course. Even if you are an excellent driver you cannot assume that everyone else on the road has your skills. All it takes is for some one to move into your lane and you are dead.

as far as i have seen .. this has been filmed on the german autobahn and the people in germany are trained to handle those situations with ease 
although is not illegal to ride that fast. and there are no intersections.
i am wondering whats more dangerous... driving 250km/h or driving 140km/h and holding a camera? ... i think they are even though

enough chit-chat about what cars is faster than the next.....its the SSC Ultimate Aero TT is the fastest production car in the world.
The SSC Aero is an American-built mid-engine sports car[citation needed] by Shelby Super Cars. Its higher-performance limited production version, the SSC Ultimate Aero TT, is currently the fastest production car in the world, with a fastest recorded speed of 413 km/h (257 mph). This speed was reportedly achieved during tests on September 13, 2007 in West Richland, Washington, United States and verified by Guinness World Records on October 9, 2007.

no fuel 



36. NoNameMcGee commented 15 years ago
now that was fast yet it seemed quiet fake coz it dissappeared into the horizon in 3 seconds





37. zerorain commented 15 years ago
its well over 200 miles per hour. the camera guy is already going 150...
those kinds of cars can go pretty fast depending on the engine though. im afraid he wont get very far since at that speed since it probably took half that gas tank to reach that speed.
at insane speeds you get pretty good mileage. my friends G35 going at 130mph down to LA gets over 40 miles per gallon. almost 400 miles on one tank. imagine if a prius that reach that speed....

you can take any Corvette you want, put all the money into you want, and take it to any professional customization shop you want and you wont break 250mph(and why would u get a ZO-6 the 2009 ZR1(approximately 3,350 pounds) from the factory will do 205 mph).
F1 cars have a million+ dollars into them and there top speed are 230mph on/off track(The minimum weight permissible is 1334 lb including the driver, fluids and on-board cameras). and thats with $30,000 in carbon rotors and ceramics brake pads(Expensive carbon-carbon composite rotors - the same material used on the Space Shuttle - introduced by the Brabham team in 1976).
so a 3,350 pound corvtte car will out run a 1334 pound F1 car?(including driver...etc) no, go read more.

Its a new Corvette, pause it and look in the side mirror. Very distinctive front end and headlights. Now its harder to tell if its a ZO6 or just a normal one, but I would guess ZO6.
The new Corvettes are the best of their class, that is widely agreed on by experts. Go read up on them, and from what little I know about older Corvettes, i know they were all very good cars for their day.
Id take an Euro sports car over a corvette any day, but my choice of driving style, not because the Corvette is a bad car.
