well ive been racing cars for awhile and breaking parts along the way, i know that my goals are VERY large and not easy to obtain but i think that is kind of the cool part about it. I personally don't mind driving a complicated transmission on the street (I'm sure my trans choice will make a lot of ppl say "racecar") but its better then breaking a T56 every few months. A nice BBC and procharger, the right gear, and suspension i don't see why one of these cars wont be able to go well into the 8's and at least 210mph in the standing mile. My Viper with only 800ish at the tires went 207 on the limiter, if i had a taller tire or different gear it would have went faster.
The combo will just have to be nailed, the only thing i cant really figure out as of now is the wheel/tire combo for the street and Mile runs and what to do about Aero, if anything. This is where i could really use some advice, i know Big Red was able to achieve well over 200mph but that was over a longer stretch of road then I'm trying to do it on.
