I would agree that it didn't LOOK like 160, but definitely not going to question you. You obviously have the power to hit 160!

Compared to your video, that Z06 looks like it is doing 300.

i know thats why i want to know how fast it was going! it may also have looked faster because the camera was not following it down the road if you know what i mean. if i get a chance i will test it and have a friend go down the road at 55-60 mph and film straight ahead and i will dust him at some crazy speed and see if it looks different. maybe it makes a difference filming it that way.

Please, please, please be careful. I know you know what you are doing but it's silly to just prove a point ... please be careful

Love the speed of the car, but that stuff needs to be kept off public highways

Autobahn or not , that is a pretty crazy speed to do on public roads.
You have to really trust that people have seen you and dont pull out into your lane cause lets face it, the biggest brakes in the world are not going to save you at that speed.

I do think that if the road had 6 or 8 lanes instead of 4 it would been a little bit safer to do. We all know old people overtaking trucks without looking....

Cool video, but a little excessive with other cars on the road.
