C8 Mid-Engine Corvette Hits 173mph

The new 2020 ‘Vette is fast. To show you just how fast, Popular YouTube channel, TheStradman took a new Z51-equipped Corvette to a dry lake bed in Utah to test out the top speed.

Considering it wasn’t on a straight pavement surface, his top speed was pretty impressive – 173 mph. The YouTube video gives an in-car perspective while the Instagram post below is viewing from the outside:

If this is how fast a stock C8 is straight off the line, what are your guesses for the new Z06?
