The newly completed section of the Grand Parkway toll road got quite the trial run this week as Hennessey Performance brought their 2014 Corvette Stingray over to test the toll system. On a closed portion of the tollway, Texas DPS State Troopers clocked the speedster at 200.6 mph, making it the first 2014 Corvette to break the 200 MPH barrier!
“The road is perfectly smooth and the Corvette was very stable and easy to drive at 200 mph,” said driver and company founder John Hennessey. “I’d put the Texas highway system up against any other highway in the world, including the German Autobahn. Our roads have proven to be smooth and safe at speeds well above 200 mph.”
The Parkway section, which connects Interstate 10 with Highway 290, will open to the public on December 21. Just in case anyone gets any ideas, the toll road cameras were still able to capture crystal clear images of the Stingray’s plates as it blazed through the toll section.
