That being said, my brother has a 2020 Vette and lives in Montana. When I visited we took it for a spin. We went out to a wide open highway, which isn't hard to find in Montana. He pulled over and said you can drive. I got in the seat and he said, "before you take off you have to do one thing, don't look down to see your speed. I want you to tell me when you think you are doing 80." I took off got up to where it felt like I was doing 80 and he told me to look at the lower windshield for the speed where it's projected. I was going 139. It felt like 80. Those high end cars are so smooth. I think went back down to 80 and he told me to give it a little gas, it was up to 120 again almost instantaneous.
Again, not an excuse, but it doesn't take much for a high performance car to go over 110.
