There is many a drag car like 57 Chevys, Novas, Chevelles, Camaro's, etc, that hit 200 mph in the quarter mile in th outlaw and modified superstreet classes, Most dont even have an air dam anything more than factory. "Bigred" drove at 220 mph and it did not look like he had alot going on for aerodynamics??? Scavos 69 camaro is doing 200 mph with no air dam or other body mods. He is doing that from a dead stop to a quarter mile!

When the time comes, I will change a few things and start creeping up and see how it behaves, I hope I still have time to do it this year.
Alrighty then, good luck with that. You ain't listening and I'm getting tired of trying to explain. But a quick re-cap:

The 200 MPH outlaw cars I've seen are all modded, absolutely on the ground, etc.

Big Red is a full tube chassis with a cut/sectioned 69 Camaro body on it. Looks stock, that was the idea. About as stock as a Nascar "stock" car.

Scavos car is way lower than yours, especially up front to keep air out from under it. Likely has some other mods to let air out where it isn't wanted. Don't think it could be driven much on the street at it's ride height.
