A street-legal Corvette Z06, developing more than 700 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque, went 205.6 MPH on the shuttle runway at Kennedy Space Center. "Whoo hoo hoo," said the driver. "Dayem."

The electric Corvette claims to have a range of 130 miles on a single charge. It has 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution and low center of gravity.

How soon before it begins terrorizing track days, refusing to give point-bys?

Love the driving position and how loose the belts are.....
Those are some loud tires too


And what year snell is that helmet 85?

Like the Tesla, it's fast, but that 130 mile cruising range is not at WOT track pace. It'll end up more like 3 laps...

He had no gloves while driving the car then decided to put the gloves on when he was getting out of the car......must be a germophobe.

Check that, he took them off in the middle of the run. Gotta love the edits.

177mph

200mph and a seat/belt setup that would be disqualified for any DE event.

Love the space shuttle as backdrop...

I think that helmet came off a space suit from the Apollo missions.

Did the HANS money get spent on a gold chain instead?

I heard the driver wanted a hatch with explosive bolts when he saw the seatbelt arrangement.

"Hold my beer. Watch this." was evidently cut from the beginning of this video.

So why would one need nomex in an electric car? Suit was a 2 piece.

Lithium batteries most likely. Ever seen one explode?

It becomes a fiery mess.
