In a 1/4 mile.


In a 68 camaro.



Pro mod car.


I have been 175 in a street car,and like said earlier there's alot of diff.than 150 from exprince,you need alot of safety equipment.I wouldn't even try it with out a cage,suit,good tires.

I have to say f you have the need for that type of speed, Go to the Richard Petty Expierence. They'll take you upwards of 185 and will even let you drive after you've done the class. Or go skydiving.

I went 170 (radar backed up) in a street car once, and only once. And it was built to go that fast and then some. This was in a 1979 Mustang with modified aerodynamics and a much smaller front profile than a Chevelle.

Here is what I would suggest to someone trying to do so,

full tube chassis. Full street race suspension. Very expensive Forged wheels, Very expensive 200 mph tires.

Honestly, for the price of getting your car "safely" to 200 mph, you can just build another LSX powered muscle car that will be awesome and you will have two awesome cars instead of on that will most likely kill you. Doing 200 on a road instead of a track, leaves you open to what can happen on a track, plus what can happen on a road. Think about how much a 15 lb animal will weigh when it is coming at you at 200 mph.

Yeah, it'd be cool to say "My car went 200 mph" but it'd be really pointless if you were not around to say that.
