P.S. it might go a bit faster but i had to back off as it started to drizzle
P.P.S. whipers work at 170+mph lol

It "starts" to run out of steam? I bet it has a little more then that in it. 620 rwhp and you should be knocking at the door of the 200 club! Shelby does it with about 590-600 rwhp and it's not any more aerodynamic then the ZL1. ZR1 does it with about 550 rwhp but yes, it is aerodynamically superior.

In the video posted of the Hennessey HPE700 ZL1, that dyno-ed at about 650 rwhp and it hit 203.9 pretty damn quickly to!

Video was awesome! I hate to request things like this of people but if you ever happen to do something like that again, is it possible to mount the camera by the speedo or so the heads up display is visible or something?
