And yep, speedo's and flip flops...
I think the button he has on the left hand is used to stop the GPS speed recorder (lower left corner-it stopped running when he hit the button). It showed the speed when the vette passed under the toll gantry.

I work for the company (Transcore) that put in the tolling equipment. TxDOT wanted to see how fast a vehicle can go under the toll gantry and still be captured by the toll system. In this case 200 mph.

According to the tech guys that were there, the vette is bone stock, other than intake/exhaust mods.
