Stupid stuff? You mean people being concerned for you and your safety? That kind of stupid stuff?

People not wanting to find out on a Monday morning that you made a smoking hole in the desert?
I would hope people might be so "stupid" regarding me someday.

How have I lost respect of anyone??? By saying I want to try to hit about 200 mph and that I have the power to do it so tell me what stuff people are doing to be stable at these speeds???
Shut down the pride for a minute and you will see that is exactly what people have been doing. There have been suggestions regarding required body, suspension, and safety modifications required to make your STREET car at least survivable at those speeds. But the overriding theme is concern for your safety. The reason is that you are, and you must admit to this, using a frying pan as a screwdriver.

A '71 Chevelle is not the right tool for the job. By saying that I am by no means saying you shouldnt try. If you did it, it would be bitchin as all-get-out. However, it will be VERY tough, VERY expensive and VERY VERY dangerous to do so.

I and the rest, are simply trying to make sure you are aware of the obstacles and the HUMONGUS risk you are undertaking.
