A leaked video from an internal presentation provides proof of Chevy's impressive top speed claim


Video at link.

quote:

In August, Chevrolet revealed the base, mid-engine C8 Corvette will have a top speed of 194 mph. Since it didn't provide any proof to back up that claim, we've had to take the company's word for it—until now. A video has surfaced online from what looks to be an internal presentation showing the C8's factory top speed test. The clip, shot from inside the cabin, shows the car achieving its 194-mph top speed at a high-speed testing facility in Papenburg, Germany, according to the video's narrator


The Z06 will likely be faster.

Anyone want to race these on I-10 before BRPD’s new fleet gets put into service?

We can outrun a 2010 Impala.

Looks way slower than 194 with the scenery passing by.

If you hit one of the thousands of i10 potholes going 190 the fiery explosion would be glorious

The basin bridge seems like a great place to try this out.

It will be the first GM car launched into space since the moon buggy.

Pretty much expected on one without a rear wing. It is only 7 mph faster than a base C7.

Now those 7 mph at that speed are indeed hard to come by.

What style do you like better?



Simple?

Or a little flashy?

A lot of cars have no spares and run flats.

Funny thought: you never see a Jewish shrine on the side of the road. Guess they're truly God's chosen people.

Or the price you may pay when you drive carelessly sounds a little too much.
