R- 265 is a tough number. If you look at the Keating or the Shelby American or Mosler, they have as much power as cars like ours, but a lot less cd and they still struggle around the 265/270 mark. You also have the Veyron. These cars all run 1100+ hp. Something about going 1-1/3 football fields every second is just a little crazy... Yeah, I could see ya doing that. |

Your car will go 265 and nothing will fly off of it - all you need to do is reinforce the nose so it does not go concave. As an example in 1983 I drove my daily driver Camaro at El Mirage dry lake bed to a speed of 241 and a few months later it went 260 at Bonneville – it only had 700hp. We came back with a 1200hp motor but the event was rained out. We still have the car but now it is in the Granatelli Museum - http://mrindy500museum.org |

I remember (John) Lingenfelter's T/A going 298 with 1400 and Eakers driving using nitrous to cool the intercoolers... |

The car may go that fast with some tweaks, but not in a standing mile.... I would need heaps more power than I currently have.... I would be tickled to join the 200 mph club one time... Quote:
