I could not read all the way to the end but I like to remind you guys that Big Red was crashed with the stock chassis. Then they went to custom chassis to do the 220

Step One. Get a ski mask and hit the bank, to make your Chevelle race at 200 mph, you'll need a few stacks of hundreds!!

Stuart, you owe me a keyboard. This one is full of diet coke now.

BTW, if you have time when you are at the bank grab some for me too!

This was yesterday at Bonneville. Ran 236 on its trial run and set the short track record for its class. This is the only safe way to go 200+ mph IMO.

Something kind of neat... This car goes 0-200 mph in 1 mile from a dead stop!

We have the same motor setup, but I am pushing about 50-75 more hp then him at the time of this video so I definetly know I have the power at least , I wonder what the drag difference is between our cars??

His car also does 150 mph in the quarter mile, It is amazing how it took 3/4 of a mile more jsut for 50 mph! That last 50 is sure a big difference!

It did this just as it sits in this picture. I need to put a camaro front clip on my car!

Yep, cool car. The next 50 mph is a big difference. That car is much better than yours aero-wise. Also much smaller grill area. I think they go 160+ with a stock 325 hp small block. Very good car to start with for higher speeds.

I can't believe that car goes 200 mph, really.

That car sure didn't look like it was going close to 199mph. The other videos that XV showed looked like it was going that fast, this did not. Maybe I'm wrong.

Camaro Cd - .34, frontal area - 21.6sq'
Chevelle Cd - .423, frontal area - 25.5sq'

Difference - HUGE

Now, take those numbers and work the math in the links I provided previously.

+1, could be wrong but that sure didn't look like 200 to me, but considering I've never gone that fast I sure could be wrong
