Corvette Z06 Autobahn

[@derekm9155]

What amazes me is how courteous, all, the drivers seem to be. They use turn signals, move over after passing, and, give adequate space to the vehicle ahead.

[@willk901]

Yup

[@Cash2112]

Derek Moran It’s called driver discipline

[@3O2MuStAnG]

@@Cash2112 4:07 switches to left lane without using indicators and hits the brakes. Yeah, so much discipline right there.

[@3O2MuStAnG]

@GD 02 Yupp. 4:07 pretty much shows the average situation. Switches to the fast lane while a faster car is coming through endangering himself and others AND hits the brakes after switching lanes. That guy really should get his license revoked for the sake of safety.

[@mihailhidler5400]

Or as americans would say Those drivers polite AF

This is actually a good example of good fast, and safe driving. No running up someones ass to get a pass, or dangerous lane changes.

It must be so nice to have a highway systems that people can really use and respect. The closest thing I can think of here in the States might be the state of Montana. The only time I visited Germany, the Autobahn was gridlocked. Good video. Thanks for sharing.

The funny thing is, if you look at some of the cars hes waiting to pass, they're still usually at 200-230 kph... (assuming his speedo is correct) that's still a cool 120 - 140+ mph for those of us in the states. Crazy.

[@julianborabora]

I don't think his speed is accurate, at the end he enters those curves with 90-100 km/h , as tight those curves are there should have been some tyre screeching.

My squad leader had a 2004 BMW M3,we got on the Autobahn and got to 156 mph a 911 Porsche Turbo passed us it was goldish brown. The next day saw it parked where our motor pool was i finally found the owner a prior service vet. I asked was it him he said yes,he was in a hurry he was going to the red light district in Frankfurt...how fast he was going he said bout 178 or so ..the avg speed was about 85 my Ford Explorer couldn't handle it..lol..

[@bobbysalinas4845]

I was stationed in Nellingen which is very close to Stuttgart, Germany. I was there in 74, back when things were really nice, no terror shit going on back then, Vietnam troops were being pulled out. Got to travel all over Europe and of coarse driving was really something, I heard about the autobahn so I had to try it. And yes I had a porsche turbo pass me probably going over 150 mph, truly amazing!!

[@yzScott]

Yes, they are limited. 205 mph limit, just as David says. The ZR1 definitely hits it. A strong Z06 might, usually a little short of that. Official drag-limited top speed of the Z06 is 198. The electronic limit at 205 also exists.

[@jonathonvince3605]

I've topped mine out. It runs out around 195. Went for miles wot lol

[@Litanic]

Not with straight-line acceleration. Oil starvation occurs during long massive cornering where the most G's can be produced. Luckily and like Murray says, C6 Z06', ZR1s and the late C6 GS' have dry-sumps so they won't have this issue on the track.

[@ChuckBeefOG]

I bet that baby turns a lot of heads in Germany. Probably don't see a Corvette on the Autobahn everyday.

[@ordnas1234]

I would say it would turns more heads than say a basic F430 or a 360, for example due to the "wtf is that?" factor of people who are not into cars like when i mention the corvette in a café talk, only half of the people knew what a corvette was and i'm sure everyone knows what a most of the times red car with an yellow logo picturing a black prancing horse in it is ;)

They also have "grown up" with the Autobahn. This has allowed people to learn how to use it. If they did allow this in The US it would take a few years & deaths before people would figure out unless you want to ROLL stay out of the left lane. But in any event you are 100% on.

[@stoneeh]

effortless power

[@lordauric]

It's sad that it doesn't as I believe many of our interstates could handle this. The problem is our drivers are not trained well and pull out in front of people. That would lead to too many accidents. I would say the average speed on most of our interstates today is about 70 to 75. And I would say you can safely drive about 85 to 90 on them but much beyond that you risk getting in an accident from someone pulling out on you. Traffic/lack of driver training in the US will always be an issue.

[@superdrummergaming]

No. His HUD speedometer is in KMH and it hits around 304. Which translates to roughly 185 MPH.

habe die C6 noch nie gefahren aber zumindest die C6 Z06 ist natürlich Leistungsmäßig schonmal stärker als die C7; man muss halt die richtigen VErsionen miteinander Vergleichen ;-) Aber ich habe schon inner C6 dringesessen und nja ich war halt von der C7 verwöhnt.....bin gleich wieder raus ;-) Für mich C7 egal ob etwas langsamer aber tolles Auto.

Most of our drivers (not all but most) wouldn't be skilled enough to handle it here in the states.
