Bill Baker of Inside Line, an Edmunds.com affliate, searched for Route 66 in a 2006 Chevrolet Corvette ZO6. The car’s advertised top speed: 198 mph. Top actual speed by Baker: 156 mph in the Mojave Desert.
Once you get past the horsepower talk, Baker does a good job writing about the history of Route 66 and where it is today. The site also features plenty of pictures from the road.
