Title: NEW CHEVROLET CORVETTE.
Post by: JuST Peter on February 13, 2015, 09:46:53 PM

Here's something for you to drool over. The speedo they show
in the film does not register anything below 40mph.  I guess that should
give us a clue.
At 1244 hp it's more powerful than the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.
So here's a fun couple of minutes for You.  Fasten your seat belt!
When you drive a Chevrolet Corvette powered Hennessey Venom GT you don't
shift into fourth gear until 160 MPH!  The top speed is incredible!
I was torn between watching the car tear down the runway and watching the speedo climb

I wonder what it costs?   :eek
An ST1300 can do half of it's eye popping top speed and can cost as little as $6,000.   That make my bike much better dollar per top speed value, and I can go on holidays on the ST.   ++

And Bert Munro did nearly half the same top speed wearing sandshoes on an ancient Indian motorcycle with pistons he melted down from his own recipe of scrap metal.      :rofl
