Re: POLL: For how many has LBA180?
 

eh... not a ZR1 but still a vette.... 160..... the L98 didn't have it in her to go even 161.... lol.... but there was a story to it... lets say Texas to Georgia with an average speed well above the posted limit.... 155-160 most of the way.... not stupid enough to do it again tho...

Re: POLL: For how many has LBA180?
 

did 180 at BBORR 2002. The same year Curtis W. went over 200 mph in his 100k+ mile 1991 Z. :D
BTW, we were both DQ'd.

The pic in my avatar was taken seconds before I hit the magic number...

I'd stay away from high speed with older tires just to be safe. That said, if you want to keep the originals for resale/collector sake, then you can buy a separate set of tires and/or rims to do your regular cruising it.

130mph....around here, there's too much traffic, neighborhoods, etc. Some years back I did 165 in my stock LT1, in a place more suitable for this duty.....I haven't had the opportunity to take the Z there...yet:mrgreen:
