I just recently heard about this. It's a one mile run to see what top speed you can hit. http://www.texasmile.com/ Here's a video of a Z06 hitting 196mph http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y280iZQ7xns
wouldn't you think most tuned bugeyes could hit top speed quicker than the full mile? i think it'd be about a quarter mile of sitting around with your speedo pegged.
IIRC he had the PPG gears...and dont forget how unaerodynamic our cars are...it takes a while to gain speed at the top end
on the list from March, one guy in a 2004 STi hit 170, I didn't think it was aerodynamically possible.
