ZL1 Top Speed Run?
I was wondering if anyone had taken their ZL1 for a top speed run, and if there was anywhere in NY (like a runway or something) that would allow this?

How stable did it feel at those speeds? I brought my 02 Z28 (LS2 stroker) up to 171 one time and she did not like it. Well, the drivetrain didn't break a sweat at all, and she could of gone a lot faster as quick as she got up there. She felt like she was floating though. I did not feel safe so I backed off. My 06 GTO felt like a 747. It was as smooth and as solid a ride ever, and 160 felt like 70 in that car.

Got mine up to 150 at Road America in Wisconsin and it felt super smooth. The car felt grounded and solid!
