A Bunch of Pikers!

In December 2013 the Texas Toll Road Authority let Hennessey Performance open up one of their 700HP C7 Corvettes on the new Toll Road before it opened.

200.6 mph and 203.9 mph.

Everything’s faster in Texas!

That’s pretty fast, but not as fast as:
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport hits 246.4 MPH - this is on a closed highway, just outside of Ketchum, ID. Happens every year.

It was a Stock C-7 Corvette, 460 HP. I had a 2014 C-7 Z51.

I heard the one in Texas had Nitrous, not sure.

Advertised Top Speed for the C-7 Corvette is 185.

I think the Supercharged Z06 tops out about 205, but there’s advertised and reality. Of course, none of us own a Runway.

BTW -My Corvette got 38 MPG in Eco Mode coming back home for Vegas doing about 75 MPH. Great Car.
