I'm not sure how I feel about the vMax claims as C&D only hit 18x with theirs. Clearly removing the aero bits allows for a higher speed, but that just seems a little contrived if you have to remove parts to get the top speed. So it's either set up for the track or for a hypothetical test track vMax, not both.

I know it's cheaper than a GT3 RS or certainly a Macca 720s, but both achieve their vMax without taking parts off and while retaining their track prowess. Hopefully the C8 won't need these shenanigans.
Car and Driver did 180 in stock form in the standing mile, not a Vmax run. It’ll need more than a mile to hit top speed.
