OK i agree with you Jody, but let us say in drag racing the mods can be minimal because of it's flat track and lack of corners and curves and mucho, mucho horsepower. i was trying to say i think there are plenty of drag cars that could possibly reach the 200 mph mark with a larger motor and with some type of body mods be them very few and just to think if the tracks were longer, say a mile or two.
i also think the mule could reach the 200 mph mark with a few mods a small wing and some lowering but i would also not want drive it or ask somebody else to drive without more cage, 200 mph is just crazy banannas.

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.
