Probably the ZR1 ( 193.xxx mph ) unless you count a Ford GT500 mustang "super" .... it ran 205.xxx +/- and could be a daily driver!

I was reading up on the corvetteforum and there was a stock ZR1 there running about 184mph in the mile. There was also a C6 with a 300 shot of that ran 211.

Was that RS6 stock?

The Rs6 has 3" cat back straight pipe and a Revo Software flash, running program " B " only. It was running with a "sprained ankle" ( Cam position sensor failure right bank, not advancing the cam timing ) so it has more to offer in October with out any additional work so to speak..

with the power our AMGs have on tap, it doesn't take long to hit that landmark considering you'd already be cruising at 70....80....empty desert fwys are our friend.

Rari- 177mph in 1 mile from a standing start is

I just found out that I was running an old tune 91 octane plus I had my 20" Vellano's and over octaned and the nos wasn't right do to the wrong tunning.. Still did beter than many Z06's and Vipers... Oh, by the way the 177 was with the A/C on while blasting Stevei Ray Vouhn on the radio .. I will update you all when I know when the Supercars Exposed episode will air on the speed channel..
