I'll build one, but I won't be the driver setting the record.
Speed is for the young guns......

They don't time the mile and didn't record 1/4 mph back then. He had a best of 192.5mph in the half though. Funny thing, I saw a fellow Camaro owner at dinner last night that's been 225.8.

I don't like the way the top flaps after 140 mph. Then its loose for few days or week.

Are you driving with your windows open? I never felt or saw any flap in my going over that speed limit.
