145 mph I believe, as he runs out of 4th gear and either coasts, or goes to
5th(!) and yeah, then tries to stop 4000 lbs (with an instructor) with 12.2"
.810" rotors :)  he's got 1" on now (I plan to get those on my 89).  plus
the slicers aren't very "open" and don't allow the calipers or rotors to
cool very well.  Josh needs 245 rubber on 8" rims and a 500 lb diet and
reverse thrusters and parachutes.

The Z06 is a lot lighter (about what my 89 weighs).  I bet those things can
pull some braking g's with those (wide) race tires
