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:

      Winning isn't enough for Panther fans.

      Winning games and be a +500 team are good. But the goal is to win Super Bowl.  Chiefs had Alex Smith, went to playoff twice and still replaced him.   BY as of now: - To many fumbles - Completion in the intermediate range is just far below acceptable - Not enough of a deep throw threat....   The stats you try use is deceiving.  Catchable......  That is an opinion. Show me the completion %. And also, how does BY compare to other QBs using the stats you cited. Oh... ranked at 27

      The Entitlement Paradox: When Winning Isn't Enough for Panther fans.    Just the other season(s) we were praying for wins by any means. Brought in every run of the mill QB you could think of.  We know all sides of the ball was bad like egregious bad. However some how we have won 5 games and TOXIC ENTITLEMENT has emerged.    We are a team that has to take wins by anymeans nothing has changed. Keep pounding means it aint gonna be perfect!!    Some panther fans have now developed a toxic entitlement where even victories feel insufficient, demanding flawless performance, or perfection, which stems from historical success in which we dont have any lol. This mindset poisons communities by fostering relentless criticism, harassment, and ingratitude that undermine team morale and alienate casual supporters. For the new Carolina Panthers, this could manifest as fans booing Bryce Young after gritty wins for low passing yards despite low turnovers, pressuring tepper into premature changes mid-rebuild, or driving away talent through online abuse!! eroding the positive momentum from their recent 4-game streak has brought us. Trust and believe the players do see your toxicity.    Anyways here are some positive stats.      Most Accurate QB on... 20+ Yard Throws 1. Drake Maye (79.2%) 2. Sam Darnold (79.2%) 3. Bryce Young (75.0%) 10-19 Yard Throws 1. Jaxson Dart (88.0%) 2. Jayden Daniels (82.9%) 3. Drake Maye (80.7%) 0-9 Yard Throws 1. Drake Maye (92.9%) 2. Spencer Rattler (92.6%) 3. Bryce Young (91.7%) @FantasyPtsData
