I said it before and I say it again, how the hell can the new M5 brick do 200mph and the C6Z06 not be able to? Me thinks aerodynamics are overrated, and gearing is where it's at

I have a hard time believing the new M5 will do a "real" 200 mph. That is a GPS verified 200 mph, not 200 mph on the speedo. I've had my M5 (E39) up to 180 mph on the speedo.

I think the Ford GT managed 205 mph and the Murcielago 206 mph at Nardo. They need to take the new Z06 there and see what she can do. It's got the power to hit 200 but maybe not the gearing.
