Default Panoz testing at VIR - check this out

http://www.speedvision.com/auto/?lvl=3a&cat=23&id=963

David Brabham says about VIR "You’ve got some sections of the track here, like the Esses up there, which are flat-out in sixth gear [approximately 170 mph]. Just unbelievable! Both of us [he and co-driver Jan Magnussen] think that’s probably one of the best sections of racetrack in the world."

Holy crap!!! 170 flat out in the uphill esses!

"I think if we’d had the bodywork here for Le Mans, it would have been a good place for us to test it, for sure."

170mph out of the uphill esses...that is focking insane. I wonder what they hit on the back straight.

Hmm... didn't Cadillac mention last year that they were seeing 217 on the straight and 180-190 in the esses?
