        I agree with the Wheel fail but That car could be redone with the Knight Rider body kit and be close to what KITT was lol

          Those wheels went 200+mph, how about yours?

          They're outdated, but its cool they are still on the car for historical reasons. At $85k, that's a huge premium for a magazine car. I like it though, like it a lot. This and the Banks Bonneville car are still pretty impressive.

              Wait, did a 1000 hp 4th gen run just over 200 mph and this 600 hp 3rd gen went 225?

              Damn cool but I don't know what you could do with it. Who services something like that?

                  There is a big difference between being able to go 200mph flat out, and 200mph in the standing mile. Stock C6 ZR1's struggle to get to 185mph in the standing mile.

                    Yeah, we know how you roll...on a trailer...

                    This car is 30 year old technology that went 200 mph...you can't even keep yours running for a week...

                    Amazing car with a ton of historical significance. Actually, the price isn't that bad considering what it is. What people forget is when this thing was built, 160 mph out of a Ferrari was a big deal.

                    But 200 mph out of a Trans Am?

                    Unheard of and insane.

                    I think it is because I take it in and out all the time, the rubber has just stretched out, especially at the bottom where it is really thin. It annoys me more then anything.
