I can do close to 150 mph from a standing stop in only a 1/4 mile right now, that is why I was figuring I could do another 50 mph in an additional 1/2 mile. I may take a mile to reach 200 mph, but I can surely do it as the car sits in my garage right now, the matter is doing it safely and for a possible extended period. My car right now is making a little over 1000hp and 850 ft/lb of torque, give or take a little bit.
My gearing with overdrive will only allow me to do exactly 200 mph at redline anyway.The car, so far rock stable at 150 mph, although I have not tried to really hold that speed for any period of time yet (on ramps are not long enough). I am sure it will be a slow transition to make it a road race car, but I luckily already have most the mechanical parts I need. I still need to decide on shocks and rear anti-roll bar yet, I also want to switvh over to the 4L80E trans.
Thanks for all the input, but lets stop arguing about the power, I easily have enough, don't forget I can add som high octane and turn it up to 1200+ hp at the touch of a button, so the power is no concern whatsoever
