My cars aero is way better than a new Z06 and it took 640hp at the flywheel to break 200. A stock Z06 would not go 200 in stock form in a standing mile although it is one bad hot rod.
The Chevelle with a cow catcher and the grill blocked with the suspension slammed to the ground might make 200, but your taking a ton of risk if you just drive up stock and try it. I think it will start to spin the tires at high speed just from the air its pushing.
If you bring the Chevelle to my shop in Michigan we can run the car on my chassis dyno with aero load up to 200mph and it will tell me how much distance and time it took. It is impossible to crash during this test!
