I'll think about it!!!!!!! Actually, what I'm saying is that I do not think a standard bodied 69 Camaro can be driven to 200 MPH without some sort of mods to keep the car on the ground. Like mentioned above, the Thrasher was lifting a LOT at speeds well below 200 MPH. So balls or not, you're not going to make it in one piece.

Any drag car I've seen go that fast has a super low front end, large rake, usually a large rear spoiler. There is a reason for this and being that you're asking these guys with their street cars to go that fast I'm thinking they'll need to incorporate something to give them a good chance of doing so safely. They don't have the huge rake, super-low front end, or big wings.

There will be a 200 mph street driven 69 Camaro, guarantee it. But not until they get some aero mods done.
