That does not take into account the rider.
You have a nice car but you have to be kidding. Zero aerodynamic corrections, Heavy street rims, OEM brakes, stock brake system, no chassis changes, hood pins? etc, etc, etc.
The best part is you are trying to find possibly a used T56 where you have no idea of what it's internals hide. So you get this untested deal up to speed and something goes wrong, what then?? Do you have a cage? suit? helmet?
I say go all the way. Take your shirt off, throw on some shorts and flip flops. Buy yourself a Starbucks to hold while attaining the speed. If this isn't distracting enough hold a camera with a live feed so we can all watch it.
I think you can do it and see no reason wht not to try it.
