@redfive311: I go through the narrows at 110 to 120. These speeds are not pushing the car at all. I think speeds of 140 to 160 are reasonable because you can use the entire road width through the turns (i.e., straighten out the curves).

Engine: AO Engrg forced air intake. Ported intake manifold with AO Engrg insulators. Larger bore with JE pistons. Geoff Jeal cam shafts/profiles & chip. Jet Hot coated exhaust manifolds (no cats). B&B 3" exhaust.

Suspension/brakes: Coil over suspension. AO Engrg dual calipers at each wheel.

Misc: Engine is powdered coated black with red lettering. Larger aluminum radiator. Fuel Safe fuel cell. Halon fire system. Simpson 6-point restraints (belts come through seat as opposed to around sides).

Correct. The stock ZR-1 with the LT5 engine topped out just below 180 mph. GM sold this ZR-1 model between 1990 and 1996. The car in the video is modified and topped out at 200 mph. The new ZR-1 is light years ahead of the old Beast!

@TheDegree777 This video was taken in 99 what do you think

[bradszr1]

dont hold me to it but i believe the better cars go through there between 80-110

[redfive311]
