I think 173mph was as fast as he got on the track. The capabilities of new sports cars is amazing. I dig the old classics, but wow. The next 'Vette will probably suck the pavement up behind it...
I love the way he slings the car around right on the edge of the tires. He makes them cry.
No paddles. He is shifting it.
He's definitely on the wheel and milking the tires for what they're worth.Yeah he drove that car like a boss. Some serious skills
I'd like to try something like that someday. I doubt I could go through some of those turns 90+mph though.
I think the fastest I've ever driven was 135 mph, and that was on a straight stretch of interstate with a helicopter spotting for me. Any idiot can go fast. Going fast and turning, that's another deal altogether. I'm sure that guy knows that track better than he knows his own house...but yeah. Years of training and experience there. Watch how he keeps the RPM in the fat part of the power band. I don't get to get my Camaro in those RPMs very often. It's fun to drop it into 3rd and scoot past a semi, but you'll be way way above anything approaching legal and reasoanble speeds real quick if you aren't watching. My SS is much more capable than I'm willing and able to push it.

I'm not sure I've ever owned anything that could go much over a 100. Any time I've ever even gotten halfway close to that, the vehicle. Let me know it didn't like it much.
They should give me a try with that car....I'll either beat that time or die trying.
Either way, I'd have a huge smile on my face.
I don't think you would die but I am positive you would crash.
