One of the main reasons for it being a weekend toy is it gets about 10 MPG.I put on a lot of hard miles on her over the weekend....My car is pretty mean looking as it's slammed which makes the wider bodied Z06 look crazy.....so far I have been to 190 mph but the top speed is faster.

I get 13mpg. You've got 100k in the ride and are worried about $2.69 a gallon?!

I only opened mine up once where I hit the onramp and it was completely clear, ran it to redline thru 4th up to 140 and the window was closing so I got out of it. Looked over at K who was just babbling along like nothing was happening and asked "didn't feel like 140 did it?", "No, " and back to babbling mind numbing drivel

190, better be closed course or deserted highway at 3am.

It was all legal....It was on a runway.....The 190 was doing a standing 1 mile run
Here is the video....I did it when I first got the car

That sounds like fun, I'd much rather have some twisties thrown in. I've been waiting for a software update before taking it down to NJMP [it's tried to commit suicide a couple times] but just noticed my fronts dry rotted like crazy in the last year. They've still got 5mm left but they are 7 years old. There was no rot when I bought it a year ago, babied sitting in climate controlled garages it's whole life.

Wow! The speedometer needle never really slows down! I like Corvettes and it will be interesting to see what Chevrolet finally releases in terms of a ZR1 or the mid-engine Corvette. The ZR1 is not really a secret, especially when they drive caravans of them cars around town (I read Autoblog) but the mid-engine Corvette is still a bit of a mystery.

What model year is your Z06? What "adjustments" did you make to achieve 640 HP?

It's a 2009 and still in mint condition...some of the power mods is a decent sized Cam...long tube headers....cold air induction....ported intake....custom tune.Yes the way the cam is designed I have a lot of power on top where it keeps pulling....most fast cars almost stop accelerating when they get near their top speed.Hopefully soon I will be getting the new Z06 and then mod the hell out of it....The new ZR1 will be more of a track focused car.

Very nice! I feel good that I still remember what all of that means...mostly.

Man, I've become like the cheapest bastard lately. Just been investing in new businesses and saving up cash for the next recession so I can snag some juicy businesses cheap.

Sp you are driving a mini van. That's just sad!

Just plebian merc.

Chrysler, Honda, and Toyota each make one Mini-Van and I have no idea why. From what I remember, mini-vans are basically made to break. So, ironically, if you have enough children to warrant owning a mini-van and can afford the repairs, you are probably pretty wealthy.

What took them so long?!

CRUSHED by 6 seconds! Looks like he was running out of tarmac fast.

Bugatti will need to shed a few pounds to play with the Egg.

And again: Koenigsegg Agera RS Achieves Multiple Production Car World Speed Records - Koenigsegg | Koenigsegg

This competition between Bugatti and Koenigsegg is actually pretty interesting and is what I consider to be "good competition." If you read the article, it was a customer that set the Koenigsegg test up in Nevada and it was the first time Koenigsegg had the opportunity to see what the Agera RS was capable of in real life. Bugatti is Volkswagen's halo brand and has access to Ehra-Lessien anytime they want, more or less. There is a "David and Goliath" element at play.

The interesting part is both companies focused on building an entirely better car than what came before it rather than throwing together parts with the hope their car will make it to 300 mph first. Koenigsegg does this through the evolution of previous models whereas Bugatti pretty much builds a better car from scratch, but both companies focus on building the best car they can, first, which usually leads to the proverbial "bar being raised." An example of that is Koenigsegg's ONE:1 crash at the Nurburgring: Koenigsegg Analysis Of Nurburgring Accident - Koenigsegg | Koenigsegg Not only did the driver survive, he was not hurt and went straight to work putting out the fire with the onboard fire extinguisher. I like that idea, having a future after a car crash. As opposed to electric, zero emission, self-driving cars that "won't crash."

Good Day!

Sorry, they'll both have bow down to the Hennessey Venom F5!!
