If you really want to see what you're up against, look at this Road & Track Standing Mile test from 2005 where they ran 13 cars and a bike over a standing mile.

A very aerodynamic Jaguar Trans Am racecar only went in the 170s and to get a little more aero, they removed the rear wing and the driver said it was spinning the rear tires at the 180 and couldn't pick up another mph. And that was a very slippery, purpose-built, high speed, roadrace car.
The only 3 cars to break 200 were a Champ Car, A TT Saleen S7 and a 1000hp TT Viper which are all infinitely more aerodynamic than a stock Chevelle.
