GNX7 - If you could pull 7000 in 5th then you could definetly hit 200+.
How was the car behaving at 174mph?
What happened to the GNX RX7? (RIP)
I think my cd is 1.29

Ill be gunning for the 200mph in my fd once i have the ls1/t56 conversion done and C-west front bumper, Large Front Lip, Front Canards, Some spoiler that has the same mounting locations as an excessively large ricer/drag car spoiler (plan to use the ricer style spoiler for my 200mph run then replace it with the ""prettier"" spoiler.

163 with a 205hp GM crate engine with a four speed and 2.73's. (days of old, circa 1991)

Projected, 211 with the LSx and six-gear trans at 630hp. I actually think it will do just over 2....... I am shooting for 202-203 at Elmo, sometime in '06.

In my car with 4.11's and 315/35/17's out back, 7,000 rpms should get me 176MPH in 5th... I'd love to try it but doubt I will. I've had it to 110 or more and it gets there really quick with the 4.11's in 4th or 5th. I'll try for 150 or so... should do 120-125 in the 1/4 mile. I'd love to try for 200

I hit 290 mph in my ls2 240sx. Fully built twin turbo custom 427inch iron block motor. About 1000-ish hp to the wheels......oh yeah, I just woke up. Well, it is a nice dream. :-P
