The guy is driving this car 1-handed. Watch his left hand, it's holding a stopwatch or something else, but it's not wrapped around the steering wheel.

 

I saw that... no idea what he's holding, but it's not the steering wheel...

 

 

Corvettes have been hitting 200mph for years & years.

 

 

Thanks for the insightful commentary.

You don't like them?  I think they're awesome.

 

i HATE the back ends on them and think the front ends are alright, but just a rip-off of the new Viper's... the last gens were far superior in the looks department imo

i assumed it was nitrous... he hits it when he was starting to lose major power and he took off again.  could be wrong though

That's what I kind of thought at first, but he holds it down a long time... I didn't think you could use nitrous for very long.

 

I loved the C6's too... but I really like this C7.

The button is connected to a pigtail and he begins holding it down after he makes his final shift at about 150mph. I'm thinking it's one of 2 things:

1. An override to the onboard computer that is basically either a governor/rev limiter or

2. They installed some sort of recording device to capture the actual speed/engine performance to begin at a certain point.

 

And while this may be "ancient history" to some, the 1966 split-window is still the most iconic Corvette ever built:

      Draft Taylen Green

      My tailoring green idea was not for him to be the starter but to add some value beyond just a developmental quarterback I think size speed is something Bryce doesn't have he has those and would immediately feel the fourth and one package and possibly red zone and some power packages for us

      Do you have against Willis I believe you're around when we have the draft with corral and Willis were on the board and me personally I was banging the table for Willis as early as round one but a lot of people thought corral was better but it's amazing with a little coaching and time can do with me I always go with potential and upside versus oh the guy just plays football you know sometimes that's not enough

      Would kenyon sadiq fill 2 needs?

      I know or needs and this probably isn't with a lot of people want but if he's available at 19 I don't think you can discount that he would be the best player on the board I think with 43 speed he's as fast as leggette. 63240 something he would stretch the field  Strike fear over the middle of opposing linebackers and also probably cure our long time history of no serviceable tight end since Greg Olsen I think a lot of needs like tackle maybe linebacker could be filled and free agency to the point like they did last year where we fix a lot of this and draft the best player we can on the board.  After his combine and the numbers in the 43-in vertical I'm not sure that he will be available but if he is I bet that he's highly considered what say you
