There's multiple ways of attacking the problem, horsepower is a must, but little things like taping the hood and sealing off other panel gaps, removing rear view mirrors, etc, can enable you to reach 200mph without having unbelievable horsepower.

In the link above you'll see a 222mph 1969 Camaro with stock body and 800+HP

Interesting article on making a 200mph 3rd gen, along with theory involved, etc: http://racingarticles.com/article_racing-21.html
those old IROC cars were highly modded lol

Panties in a wod. Faking or not, do you guys really care? I haven't found a stretch of road to get my car over 150..... But saying the aerodynamics wont hold?? we are not driving truck guys, the dynamics are fine. And there are trucks that do 200+. maybe the guy is a poser, I don't care. Or maybe he actually has the money to make his car do what you guys can't afford to do. "he claimed to be faster than anyone one this site with one post". Wow... Cry about it
